Duskull is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which appears to be a stylized personification of the {{wp|Grim Reaper}}. Its body resembles a black robe with two bone-shaped patterns on its back. It has a mask that resembles a skull and a single eye that floats between its eye sockets.


Duskull is also able to become invisible to sneak up on its prey and go through walls. Duskull is primarily a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] and has been shown to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|thick forests}}. It is said that this Pokémon will spirit away disobedient children, and it has been described to enjoy the crying of children. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.
Duskull can become invisible, sneaking up on their prey and going through walls. Duskull is primarily a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] and has been shown to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|thick forests}}. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn. It has been described as enjoying the crying of children, and it is said that this Pokémon will spirit away disobedient children. This is often told to children to make them behave. Duskulls's diet consists of the vital energy of children. All victims of Duskull tend to suffer an intense chill after being drained of their life force.

Duskull (Japanese: ヨマワル Yomawaru) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Dusclops starting at level 37, which evolves into Dusknoir when traded while holding a Reaper Cloth.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Duskull's hood

Duskull is a Pokémon which appears to be a stylized personification of the Grim Reaper. Its body resembles a black robe with two bone-shaped patterns on its back. It has a mask that resembles a skull and a single eye that floats between its eye sockets.

Duskull can become invisible, sneaking up on their prey and going through walls. Duskull is primarily a nocturnal Pokémon and has been shown to live in thick forests. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn. It has been described as enjoying the crying of children, and it is said that this Pokémon will spirit away disobedient children. This is often told to children to make them behave. Duskulls's diet consists of the vital energy of children. All victims of Duskull tend to suffer an intense chill after being drained of their life force.

Evolution

Duskull evolves into Dusclops, which evolves into Dusknoir.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Duskull may be based on the Grim Reaper or the bogeyman. The Japanese equivalent of the bogeyman is called the Namahage. Its shape is similar to a Hitodama, the Japanese representation of a human soul. Duskull could also take an inspiration from animated skeletons due to its skull mask and bone markings on its back.

Name origin

Duskull may be a combination of dusk and skull.

Yomawaru may be a combination of 妖魔 yōma (ghost), 悪 waru (bad thing), and 夜回り yomawari (night watch). It is also similar to 山童 Yamawaro, a hairy, one-eyed spirit that appeared in The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
