The reason why they prefer underhanded tactics such as ambushing is due to their lack of confidence in their brawns.

Origin[]
Morgrem is based on a goblin or gremlin. It may also be based on one of the creatures from Morgan La Fay, a witch that summoned a green knight who falsely bowed to King Arthur, which is also stated in Morgrem's Pokémon Sword Pokédex entry. It may also take inspiration from the Redcap, a goblin from English folklore who is said to have long hair, skinny fingers, and stabs people with a pike staff, similarly to Morgrem and how they attack with their sharp hair. The style of its hair may also take inspiration from goths or emos.
Etymology[]
Morgrem may come from the words "morbid", "gremlin", and "grem", an old word meaning to anger. It may also come from "Morgan La Fay", a famous witch that summoned creatures, including a green knight who falsely bowed to King Arthur.
