It has a blue-black oval on the tuft. It has a cat-like face, that is also blue-black. Absol's scythe-like tail and sickle-shaped growth on the side of it's head are the same colour. It has broad, circular feet, with three claws on each foot, and spikes on the heels of it's back legs and the elbows of it's front legs.

=In the anime=
Absol first appeared in ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't the true villian of the movie. It was Butler, because he wanted to forceably extract Jirachi's power to create a {{p|Groudon}}.

The Disaster Pokémon also appeared in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to there town during the pass month. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and co. (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol were actually warning the town about a flood. All of Ash's, [[May (anime)|May]]'s and [[Brock]]'s Pokémon that had long-range attacks (plus a {{p|Heracross}} belonging to Nicky's brother, Gordon) helped Absol move a boulder in front of oncoming torrent of water.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the Kanto [[Grand Festival]].

=Trivia=
==Origin==
Absol is based on the [[wp:Barghest|Barghest]], a monstrous black dog in English folklore. Seeing one was believed to portend imminent death or misfortune.
===Name origin===
Absol's name may be derived from 物騒 ''bussō'', dangerous, but much debate exists over the true origin of its name. One common theory is that it is a combination of ''ab-'', a prefix meaning away/from, and ''sol'', meaning sun. This could imply that Absol is away from the sun, reinforcing its {{t|Dark}}-type nature. It could also be a shortened form of "absolute", referring to the absolute nature of its [[species]], disaster.
