Misdreavus (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Ghost-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves into Mismagius when given a Dusk Stone. It appears to be distantly related to Flutter Mane.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like Pokémon. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages and resembles a ruffled dress. It has several round red gems around its neck, which are used to absorb fear and use it as nourishment. It has long, flowing lilac-tipped "hair". Misdreavus's large, red eyes have yellow sclerae.

Misdreavus lives in 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 only known Pokémon that could learn Pain Split by level up. In the anime, Misdreavus is shown to be able to use its "hair" to grasp objects and other Pokémon, as it were a pair of hands.
