Dhelmise (ダダリン Dadarin) is a ghost/Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Biology
Physiology
Dhelmise is an aquatic Pokémon that resembles an anchor. A ship steering wheel acts as its head. The green algae mass is actually Dhelmise's body.
Behavior
Dhelmise is able to launch forward its anchor body with enough force to destroy the strongest of rocks. It can also render a Wailord, its natural prey, unconscious. Dhelmise can extend its body at a lengthy distance. It can also attach bits of sea debris and seaweed. In addition, Dhelmise binds its victims with seaweed while draining away their vitality; it also uses this tactic when hunting for Wailord.
It is said that Dhelmise was created when a piece of seaweed merged with the debris of a sunken ship.

Trivia
- Currently, Cryogonal, Dhelmise, Minior & Mew are the only genderless Pokémon that can learn Attract (although they can only learn Attract via TM), however, the move always fails.
- It's the only Pokémon that can have two different forms; the right eye and the left eye.
Origin
Dhelmise appears to be based on a steering wheel and anchor salvaged from a shipwreck. Its method of draining Wailord of their life essence may be in reference to how whales can die or be injured by abandoned fishing equipment.
Etymology
Dhelmise comes from demise (to seek or hope for someones misfortune) and helm (the head of a ship).
