Gengar is dark purple in color and roundish in shape. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar's eyes are now red, its back has a spiny appearance, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin. Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. [[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]] In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s. Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of. Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.
