Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages and resembles a ruffled dress. It has five round red gems halfway around its neck, which are used to absorb fear and use it as nourishment. When defeated in the {{DL|Pokémon games|side series}} games, its body disappears, leaving only the gems around its neck behind. This implies that Misdreavus retreats into the gems when it has been severely weakened. It has long, flowing lilac-tipped "hair". Misdreavus's large, red eyes have yellow sclerae.


Misdreavus lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|caves}}. As a [[nocturnal]] Pokémon, it spends its days sleeping in darkness and its nights startling people with mischievous tricks. Since it loves watching frightened people, it is known to yank and bite at people's hair or sneak up on them and cry and shriek. Previously, it was the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that could learn {{m|Pain Split}} by level up.
Misdreavus lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|caves}}. As a {{pkmn2|nocturnal}} Pokémon, it spends its days sleeping in darkness and its nights startling people with mischievous tricks. Since it loves watching frightened people, it is known to yank and bite at people's hair or sneak up on them and cry and shriek in a way a child would. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Misdreavus is shown to be able to use its "hair" to grasp objects and other Pokémon, as if it were hands. {{p|Flutter Mane}} shares a resemblance to Misdreavus. It was theorized to be a giant Misdreavus reborn as a pterosaur ghost.


==In the anime==
Prior to [[Generation IV]], {{m|Pain Split}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Psywave}} was also its signature move. Other Pokémon could still inherit both moves via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures. One of these is the {{wp|Nukekubi}}, which shares the similarities of nocturnal habits, flying about as a decapitated head, and wailing to increase its victims' fright. Another possible origin is the {{wp|banshee}}, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore who was known for its unearthly wailing and screaming. It is also possible that it was based on a {{wp|langsuir}}, a type of vampire in Malaysian mythology known to appear as a flying decapitated female head.
Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures.
