==Biology==
[[File:Litwick extinguished.png|left|thumb|250px|A Litwick with its flame extinguished]]
Litwick is a small, {{wp|candle}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made primarily out of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip.


===Physiology===
Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. [[BW026|In the anime]], the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy and interferes with electronic devices such as [[Pokédex]]es.
Hitomoshi has a purple flame atop his head. Its body is made up primarily of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye, and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Hitomoshi is a combination of {{wp|Hitodama}} (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and youkai, equivalent to the western {{wp|Wil-O-Wisp}}) and a {{wp|candle}}.  
Litwick may be based on a {{wp|candle}} and the {{wp|hitodama}} or {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}s.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Its name seems to be a corruption of 灯火 ''tomoshibi'', lamplight, 火 hi, meaning "fire", and possibly from Hitodama.
Litwick may be a combination of ''lit'', ''little'', ''{{wp|Candle wick|wick}}'', and possibly ''wicked''.


<!--==In other languages==
Hitomoshi may be derived from 火点し ''hi-tomoshi'', which literally means "lighting a lamp" but can also refer to a person who leads a funeral procession with a torch. The name can also be interpreted as 人燃し ''hito-moshi'' (to burn a man to death).

Litwick (Japanese: ヒトモシ Hitomoshi) is a dual-type Ghost/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Lampent starting at level 41, which evolves into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

Biology

A Litwick with its flame extinguished

Litwick is a small, candle-like Pokémon with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made primarily out of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip.

Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. In the anime, the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy and interferes with electronic devices such as Pokédexes.

Evolution

Litwick evolves into Lampent, which evolves into Chandelure.

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

Trivia

Origin

Litwick may be based on a candle and the hitodama or will-o'-the-wisps.

Name origin

Litwick may be a combination of lit, little, wick, and possibly wicked.

Hitomoshi may be derived from 火点し hi-tomoshi, which literally means "lighting a lamp" but can also refer to a person who leads a funeral procession with a torch. The name can also be interpreted as 人燃し hito-moshi (to burn a man to death).
