Dusclops (Japanese: サマヨール Samayouru) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Duskull starting at level 37 and evolves into Dusknoir when traded while holding a Reaper Cloth.
Biology
Dusclops is a Pokémon with a roundish gray body with two stubby legs. Its body is hollow and can absorb anything much like a black hole. It has a single red eye and three tooth-like projections. It has two wispy, light gray growths coming out of its shoulders and one on top of its head. Its light gray hands appear to be directly attached to its body. It will wave these hands to hypnotize opponents and then force them to do as it wills. Dusclops preys on drifting will-o'-the-wisps, sucking them into its body. It usually lives in thick forests.

Origin
Dusclops seems to be based on the Hitotsume-kozō, a humanoid, Cyclops-like ghost. It also has similarities with the Chōchin-obake, which are one-eyed haunted paper lanterns, and mummies.
Name origin
Dusclops may be a combination of dusk and cyclops.
Samayouru may be a combination of 彷徨う samayou (to wander about) and 夜 yoru (night).
