Dusclopsサマヨール (Japanese: Samayooru) (DUS-klops[1]) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Dusclops is a ghost Pokémon with a gray oval body and stubby legs. The mask it had as a Duskull is fused to its mummy-like face. It has a single red eye, earning its name. It has three light gray wisps on its body: one on each side and the other on top of its head. It also has two light gray hands with five fingers each.

Behavior[]

Dusclops are feared Pokémon, found patrolling ominous woods once night falls.Those that gaze into their singular red eyes are said to be able to glimpse these flames—at the cost of their lives, however, as they will absorb the spirits of anyone they make eye contact with. Dusclops can hypnotize foes by waving their hands around in a ghastly manner. Their eyes ​will glow while doing so, and their victims will be forced to do their biddings afterwards.

Special Abilities[]

Dusclops has a hollow body that acts as a black hole. When it opens its mouth, it can absorb anything into its empty body. It is unknown what happens inside of it.

Evolution[]

Dusclops is the evolved form of Duskull and evolves into Dusknoir via trade while holding a Reaper Cloth.

Manga[]

In Pokémon Adventures, Emerald owns a Dusclops.

Trivia[]

  • Dusclops is the only one of its evolutionary line that sports legs.

Origin[]

Dusclops is probably based on a black hole, given its ability. It is also based on mummies or the Hitotsume-kozō, a humanoid cycloptic ghost. Its shape, body pattern, and hollow body may make it based on the Chōchin-obake, haunted paper lanterns from Japanese mythology.

Etymology[]

Dusclops comes from dusk and cyclops.

Samayōru, its Japanese name, may come from 彷徨う (samayō, to wander about), Samael (an Abrahamic angel known as the angel of death), Samhain (a Celtic holiday from which many customs associated with Halloween were derived), 妖怪 (yōkai), and 夜 (yoru, night)
