According to Dorothy's moveset showcase, the reasoning for adding her neutral special move in which she inexplicably gains an elephant's trunk and tusks, which is mentioned in the video as being something some fans were confused about the origins of, was "it's a public domain fact that elephants are cool!" It's worth noting that in 1922, an elephant character was introduced to the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book series named Kabumpo who is now in the public domain, but it's unclear if this move is meant to be a specific reference to him.
