	Name	Meaning
Japanese	カブりもん Kaburimon	Turniphead
French	Tête de Radis	Radish Head
Italian	Rapa	Turnip
German	Rübenmann	Turnipsman
Spanish	Rabanocho	Radishy

The Japanese name is specifically a pun on カブ kabu ("turnip") and 頭 kaburi ("head").

The Spanish version uses a somewhat outdated colloquial suffix that is added to nouns for a friendly effect. A similar thing happens with the Radeeze.

Trivia

• According to the Gourmet Book, Turnipheads are actually made of flesh.
  • This book also hints towards the existence of a never-seen UMA called the Turnipa.
