History

Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokémon, is an enormous Normal-type known for doing little besides eating and sleeping; it reportedly consumes nearly 900 pounds of food daily before dozing off. As the flavor text suggests, its voracious appetite can be a genuine menace, as it may devour entire stores of food from a village. In the games it is famous as a massive obstacle that blocks roads while it sleeps, requiring the music of a Poké Flute to wake it and move it along.

Name & meaning

The Japanese name カビゴン (Kabigon) is generally understood to combine 'kabi' (カビ, meaning 'mold'/'mildew' — alluding to a lazy creature that sits still long enough to grow mold) with the suffix 'gon,' a common ending for large monster-like names. The name is also famously tied to the nickname of game designer Kōji Nishino, on whom the Pokemon's sleepy, big-eating personality was modeled. The English name 'Snorlax' fuses 'snore' (evoking its constant sleeping) with 'lax' (from 'relax,' reflecting its lazy, laid-back nature).
