Munna is a mainly pink quadruped Pokémon of indefinable basis, somewhat resembling tapirs or pigs. Its body is rounded and stubby-limbed, giving it a lump-like appearance, with pink-and-purple floral patterns along the back and underside. It has oval red eyes and what appear to be two eyelashes on top, with a pink oval on the upper side of its curving snout.

Minor appearances
In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures
Black owns a Munna named Musha. Black can use Musha's Dream Eater to clear his mind of distractions and gain the ability to sense things a normal human can't.
In Generations I and III on Route 10, a Picnicker mentions that she wishes that there were pink Pokémon with floral patterns, a description which Munna fits.
Origin
Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called koro. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of koro have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent koro are popularly shaped like a pig and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the Baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams.
