Drowzee (Japanese: スリープ Sleep) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Drowzee is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles a tapir. Its eyes are tired looking and it has a trunk above its mouth. Its arms are quite short in length and its hands each have three fingers. The upper half of a Drowzee's body is yellow and the lower half is brown, the two of which are separated by a wavy line. It has a round belly and its legs are quite stubby. Its feet are brown, except for its two toes, which are the same yellow color as the upper half of the body, and the bottom, which has a small, round, pink colored pad in the middle of it.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Its special abilities allow it to put people to sleep and then sense the dreams they are having, so they know what kind of dream they would be eating. Drowzee is also known to inexplicably conjure up poisonous gas.
Behavior
Drowzee may hypnotize its enemies to eat their dreams, but it may also eat the dreams of persons that are naturally sleeping. When it twitches its nose, it can tell where someone is sleeping and what that person is dreaming about. If a person’s nose becomes itchy when they are sleeping, it is said to be a sure sign that a Drowzee is standing above their pillow and trying to eat their dream through the person’s nostrils. Drowzee has certain preferences for the dreams it eats, and it is known to love fun dreams and rarely eat the dreams of adults, as the dreams of children are seemingly tastier. Drowzee remembers every dream it has eaten, and may show dreams it has eaten in the past to a person that often sleeps by it.
Habitat
Wild Drowzee live in very tall grass, by muddy rivers, in savannahs, and occasionally in ancient temples and tombs. Drowzee are most commonly found in Kanto and Johto, but have been sighted in Sinnoh on some occasions.

Major appearances
Drowzee first appeared alongside its evolved form in Hypno's Naptime. Both of the Hypnosis Pokémon were used to help the members of the Pokémon Lover's Club get sleep. Hypno was causing children to act like Pokémon and draining the energy from the Pokémon in the local Pokémon Center. Drowzee was used to fix the mess Hypno created.
Drowzee made another appearance in Pikachu Re-Volts. Butch and Cassidy used a Drowzee to brainwash Pokémon into turning against their Trainers and obeying Butch and Cassidy instead.
Drowzee was living in an abandoned mining town with several other Psychic Pokémon in Fear Factor Phony. The Psychic Pokémon had parties in order to help them forget their sadness due to fact that the miners had left the town long ago. However, the constant partying was disturbing the Ghost Pokémon that lived in the abandoned mine.

Trivia
- In Pokémon Stadium, the Drowzee mini-game (Snore War) involved putting other players to sleep, and in the end, all the Drowzee would end asleep anyway. Ironically, in Generation III, Drowzee is given the ability Insomnia making it impossible for it to fall asleep.
- Although Drowzee could learn Snore by move tutor in Pokémon Emerald, it was unable able to use it due to its sole ability in Generation III, Insomnia. Oddly, in Pokémon Platinum, it cannot be tutored Snore despite gaining a second ability in Generation IV that would not prevent the use of Snore.
- Although its artwork depicts it having three fingers, Drowzee's Red/Blue sprite depicts it having five fingers.
Origin
Drowzee is based on the Japanese myth of the baku, creatures who eat bad dreams of sleeping people. Originally, they were composite animals, but later became tapirs — pig-like animals with small trunks from South America and Southern Asia.
Name origin
Drowzee's name is a misspelling of the word drowsy, which means dull with sleepiness. The zee could also be a reference to the saying "catching some Zs", meaning to sleep. Its Japanese name simply refers to sleep.
In other languages
- German: Traumato - From Traum (dream) and traumatisch (traumatic).
- French: Soporifik - From soporifique (narcotic). The spelling was likely changed intentionally to stay within 10 characters.
- Korean: 슬리프 Seullipeu
- Chinese (Taiwan): 素利普 Sù Lì Pǔ - Transliteration of its Japanese name.
