Duskull (Japanese: ヨマワル Yomawaru) is a Ghost-type Pokémon.
Biology
Duskull is styled after a stereotypical personification of Death, the Grim Reaper. It resembles a small hooded masked form in a black robe with a crossbone drawing on its back. In its "shiny" alternate coloring, its robe is curiously bright red. Its mask resembles the front of a skull. It also seems to have a single eye that floats between the eye sockets in its mask
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
While Duskull appears to have the typical movepool for a Ghost-type, it lacks the capability to use Thunder/Thunderbolt. Yet, it can learn Ice Beam/Blizzard. Duskull also happens to be more defensive than its fellow Ghost Pokémon.
Behavior
Duskull is primarily a nocturnal Pokémon. People say that this Pokémon will spirit-away disobedient children.

In the anime
Duskull first appeared in Camp Pikachu, scaring the Pichu Brothers.
Duskull also had a brief appearance in Get the Show on the Road. While May was on her way to Prof. Birch's, Duskull popped up right in front of May and scared her out of wits.
Two Duskull were among the several Ghost Pokémon living in abandoned mine in Fear Factor Phony. Since the Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying Psychic Pokémon in the nearby town, Team Rocket decided to help the Ghosts because they knew what its like to "lose sleep over a bunch of twerps."

Trivia
Origin
Duskull may be based on the Grim Reaper or the bogeyman. The Japanese bogeyman is called the Namahage.
Name origin
Duskull's name is probably a combination of dusk and skull. Its Japanese name is a combination of 妖魔 yōma, ghost and 悪 waru, bad thing/person. It is also possible that it is derived from 夜回り yomawari, night watch(man). Its French name refers to its skull-mask, and its German name is similar to twilight.
