It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly substance billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai also appears capable of retracting its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth. | ||

This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending terrible | This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending terrible nightmares. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is stated that the only way a person can wake from one of these nightmares is to be exposed to the [[Lunar Wing]] of {{p|Cresselia}}. Contrary to popular belief, this "unleashing of nightmares" is in fact a defense mechanism, rather than something of malicious intent. Also, in the Anime at least, these nightmares are not never ending, as most victims are able to wake up normally, though it appears if Dark Void is used they cannot until the attack wears off. | ||
In the [[M10|10th movie]], Darkrai tried to protect [[Alamos Town]] from being destroyed by {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} and sacrificed itself in the process, although by the end of the movie it was revived. | In the [[M10|10th movie]], Darkrai tried to protect [[Alamos Town]] from being destroyed by {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} and sacrificed itself in the process, although by the end of the movie it was revived. {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that it will never leave the player, no matter the danger. This is mainly due to the fact that Darkrai lost its memory when it was attacked by {{p|Palkia}} while trying to escape through a dimensional hole. It is worth noting that this Darkrai's personality after being attacked by Palkia is similar to the original Darkrai, who was very loyal to those it cared about. | ||
As seen in its [[DP104|first appearance in an episode]], Darkrai do not only cause nightmares, they are also attracted to them. They also go around objects they are attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. | As seen in its [[DP104|first appearance in an episode]], Darkrai do not only cause nightmares, they are also attracted to them.

* | * {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness. Once you defeat him, the player's Pokémon is allowed to evolve at Luminous Spring. | ||

** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]. After all, when the player takes the [[Member Card]] to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival. | ** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]].
