Yamask (Japanese: デスマス, Hepburn: Desumasu) (YAH-mask[1]) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It has a Ground/Ghost-type Galarian Form introduced in Generation VIII.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Yamask is a small black, shadow-like figure with two long arm-like limbs protruding from its upper body. On the end of its long slender tail like thing, it cradles a gold mask that resembles a human face. Yamask's eyes are red with a small black pupil in the middle.
Galarian Yamask looks pretty much the same as the original Yamask, but instead of cradling a gold mask it is replaced with Runeigus' tail rune. Galarian Yamask's eyes are purple with a small black pupil in the middle.
Behavior[]
When gazing at the mask that resembles its former human self, Yamask sometimes sobs over looking at it.
Galarian Yamask is formed when an ancient clay tablet is drawn to a vengeful spirit. The slab has possessed it and absorbs its dark powers.
Natural Abilities[]
Yamask can manipulate victims if they wear its mask through possessing their bodies.
Habitat[]
Yamask usually wander around ancient ruins and remains.
Evolution[]
Yamask evolves into Cofagrigus at level 34.
Galarian Yamask can evolve into Runerigus near the Dusty Bowl with HP lower than 49 but without fainting.

Anime[]
A Yamask made its debut in A Night in the Nacrene City Museum! where it was causing a haunting in the Nacrene Museum due its mask being "stolen" by Hawes. It later took over Cilan's body when its mask went onto his face and expressed its anger. When Lenora finally solved the reason behind the commotion, Yamask left peacefully with its mask.
Trivia[]
- When designing Yamask, the official designers believed that it has to combine both creepiness and lovableness into its appearance and concept, since Pokémon are meant to be humans' companions.
- Yamask is the only Pokémon from Generation V to evolve into a Pokémon outside of its generation.
- The way that Galarian Yamask evolves is likely inspired by funeral/burial rituals of different civilizations from both east and west:
- Dusty Bowl bears strong resemblance to a dolmen, similar to early Viking civilizations' stone-ships that inspired the design of Runerigus.
Origin[]
Yamask seems to be based on a Bâ, a human soul in Egyptian conception. It also appears to be holding an Egyptian death mask.
Galarian Yamask might be inspired by the fragment of runes, more specifically the Swedish Ingvar runestones which hold strange snake-like markings on them, similarly to Galarian Yamask's tablet. The requirement of it having to lose 49 HP to evolve is based on how antarābhava and Taoism beliefs of the soul of a dead person will leave the human world within 49 days.
Etymology[]
Yamask may come from 闇 yami (darkness), や ya (bad), Yama (a deity in Hinduism and Buddhism associated with death and the afterlife), and mask.
Its Japanese name, Desumasu, comes from death mask and ですます体 desumasutai (formal Japanese speech).
