Cofagrigus (Japanese: デスカーン Desukarn) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Yamask starting at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Cofagrigus is a blue and yellow sarcophagus with red, menacing eyes, with four ebony hands that appear to be shadows. A simply designed face is prominent on the "forehead" of the Pokémon, which is similar to the mask that its pre-evolution carries. White, sharp fangs create a taunting smile and flamboyant patterns veil the coffin. The coffin is said to be made of gold.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

According to its Pokédex entry in Black, ancient legends once told Cofagrigus could eat nearby humans and turn their lifeless bodies into mummies. It also has the ability to form two pairs of arms. Its real face is covered up by parts that slide out of the way when it is active.

Behavior

Cofagrigus imitates an elegant coffin to lure in unsuspecting grave robbers and punish them.

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Cofagrigus are rumored to eat humans, but are known to enjoy the taste of gold.

In the anime

While Cofagrigus did not appear itself, a replica of its coffin appeared in a Nacrene City Museum exhibit in BW014.

Trivia

Origin

Cofagrigus's design is based off a sarcophagus. It was also most likely based on supposedly cursed Egyptian tombs. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "curse" from its owner, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of cursed tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had opened and entered King Tutankhamun's tomb, began dying after the exploration. Cofagrigus's ability to passively turn other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films.

Name origin

Cofagrigus is likely a mix of sarcophagus and egregious, while also evoking the word coffin.

Desukarn seems to be a combination of デス desu, transliteration of the English word death, and 棺 kan, coffin.
