General Notes

• Bombadgy is based off of the Bake-danuki yōkai from Japanese folklore.
  • In fact, it gets its Japanese name, Bunbujina (ブンブジナ), from a Japanese folktale: Bunbuku Chagama (分福茶釜), which involves a tanuki. The second half of the name is from mujina (kanji: 貉 / kana: むじな), the Japanese word for "badger". Mujina can also refer to a yōkai that is very similar to the tanuki.
    • As for its localized English name, it is simply a blend between bomb and badger.
