Dusclops (Japanese: サマヨール Samayooru) 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.

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.

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)
