Trivia
Origin
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Parasect's design, like the entomophthora muscae, which grows on the back of the common housefly.
Name origin
Parasect's name is a combination of parasite and insect, referring to the parasitic mushroom on this insect's back.
