Trivia

Origin

Nuzleaf is probably based on an acorn and 天狗 Tengu, tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds.

Name origin

Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of nuzzle and leaf. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻, big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of konoha (leaf) and hana (flower).
