Dhelmise is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made up of an anchor and a ship's wheel, held together by a mass of green seaweed. The anchor is a rusty brown mottled with blackish spots. The seaweed, which is Dhelmise's true body, partially envelops the thick, curved bottom of the anchor in a zigzag fashion, leaving empty spaces that look like sharp teeth. The seaweed continues upward to cover the anchor's thin shank and the spindle of the wheel. Five individual strands of seaweed trail off this small hub is a star-shape.

The ship's wheel is lavender on the outside with a yellow inner rim. It is affixed to the back of the spindle by its center and able to rotate freely. The noticeably damaged wheel features six spokes and four handles, all of which are yellow. There are two lavender stubs where the other handles should be. A simple compass, resembling an eye, is set into a yellow ring-shaped component on one side of the wheel; mirroring this is an identical ring on the opposite side, though nothing is set into it.

Dhelmise prefers large prey, such as {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Wailord}}. The heavy anchor can be swung with enough force to knock out its prey in a single blow. The victim is then enveloped in seaweed, which can be stretched hundreds of yards, and its life-force drained. In addition to hunting, this Pokémon maintains itself by adding new detritus and seaweed to its body. It is known to get along well with {{p|Skrelp}} and {{p|Dragalge}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Dhelmise appears to be a cluster of {{wp|seaweed}} holding together the {{wp|anchor}} and a {{wp|ship's wheel|helm}} of a wrecked {{wp|ship}}. Its behaviour may be a reference to two famous captains in classic literature, {{wp|Captain Ahab}} the main protagonist in {{wp|Herman Melville}}'s {{wp|Moby-Dick}} that dies tied to his own harpoon while trying to kill a whale, and the captain of the {{wp|ghost ship}} Demeter, that in {{wp|Bram Stoker}}'s {{wp|Dracula}} is found tied to the helm of the ship after being drained by the protagonist.  
Dhelmise is based on a cluster of {{wp|seaweed}} holding together the {{wp|anchor}} and {{wp|ship's wheel|helm}} of a wrecked {{wp|ship}}. Conceptually, it may be based on various legends of {{wp|ghost ship}}s, such as the ''{{wp|Flying Dutchman}}'', a ghost ship cursed to eternally sail the seas. Dhelmise's behaviour may be a reference to two famous captains in classic literature: {{wp|Captain Ahab}}, the main protagonist in {{wp|Herman Melville}}'s ''{{wp|Moby-Dick}}'' that dies tied to his own harpoon while trying to kill a whale; and the captain of the ghost ship ''Demeter'', that in {{wp|Bram Stoker}}'s ''{{wp|Dracula}}'' is found tied to the helm of the ship after being drained by the protagonist.  


The type of seaweed it is based on is possibly the ''{{wp|Codium fragile}}'', also known as "dead man's fingers". Dhelmise's concept as a seaweed-based monster is reminiscent of the works of {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, particularly his {{wp|Sargasso Sea Stories}}. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Giant squid|giant}} and {{wp|colossal squid}}s, which are preyed upon by sperm whales.
