Dusknoir (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Dusknoir is a primarily black Pokémon somewhat resembling a cyclops. Its cylindrical head is light gray with a single eye that has a yellow iris and a red pupil. There is a yellow band near the top of its head, and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extends from on top. Six flat projections extend from the base of its neck and surround its head, resembling an {{wp|upturned collar}}. Dusknoir has well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso are two almond-shaped marking, and on its back are two circular markings. Both sets of markings resemble eyes. A yellow band encircles its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It has a wispy tail in place of feet.

Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the {{jwp|山童|Yamawarawa}} may have been the inspiration for this Pokémon. Like Dusclops, due to its rotund shape and single eye, it may also be based on the {{wp|Chōchinobake|chōchin obake}}. The fact that it receives transmissions from the world of spirits may be based on paranormal explanations for {{wp|Electronic voice phenomenon#Paranormal explanations|electronic voice phenomena}}.
