Lampent #608
Biology
The Lampent Pokémon has a transparent, spherical head with a bluish-purple flame and oval, yellow eyes. A black covering like a lampshade covers its head, with a sharp spike on top. A little, black body with a sharp spike at the bottom lies underneath its head. Two long, wavy arms with no fingers protrude from its torso. To move, it floats through the air.
Lampent can detect when someone is going to die and then visits them to take their spirit. Though it is most often seen in deep woods, it sometimes travels into towns and hangs around near hospitals to absorb the souls of the departed. When in cities, it also pretends to be a light. As a result, Lampent is regarded as the ambassador of death. It fuels its fire with the spirits it has received. It has been known to collaborate with Litwick on occasion to take humans to the Ghost World while taking life energy.
