Top 10 Scariest Pokemon

#6 - The Reaper Pokemon Family

Up next in our countdown of the Top Ten Scariest Pokemon is the Reaper Family. Instead of excluding one, or even two, of the family members, I've decided to group the three together; all of them rightfully deserve to be on the list.

Let's start with Duskull, as it's the first form of the Pokemon. From its design alone, it's obvious that Duskull appears to emulate the Grim Reaper; however, on a much smaller scale. It's like the Grim Reaper to be, probably why it sticks to the children. "There is an oft- told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this POKéMON will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers." (Pokemon Sapphire Pokedex Entry). To put it nicely, Duskull takes problem children to their eternal dwelling, and since they were bad, you have a good idea where it's taking them.

Duskull evolves into Dusclops. Instead of keeping with the entire reaper theme. Dusclops, as its name describes, is more of a cyclops than a reaper. However, it's still pretty creepy. Its Pokemon Sapphire Pokedex entry reads, "DUSCLOPS absorbs anything, however large the object may be. This POKéMON hypnotizes its foe by waving its hands in a macabre manner and by bringing its single eye to bear. The hypnotized foe is made to do DUSCLOPS's bidding." Dusclops will hypnotize its prey, whether that be a human or Pokemon. They will do whatever Dusclops commands, including being absorbed within the black-hole like abyss inside of it.

This is definitely one family you wouldn't want over for dinner, if you know what I mean. You and your children might be doomed to the spirit world, unless Dusclops eats you first.
