Cofagrigus (Japanese: デスカーン Desukarn) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Yamask starting at level 34.
Biology
Cofagrigus is a blue and yellow sarcophagus-like Pokémon with red, menacing eyes and four ebony hands that appear to be shadows. A simply designed face, which is the mask Yamask carries, is prominent on the "forehead" of the Pokémon. Its real face is covered up by parts that slide open when it is active. White, sharp fangs compose a taunting smile, and flamboyant patterns veil the coffin. The coffin is said to be made of solid gold.
Ancient legends once told Cofagrigus could seal nearby humans in their bodies and turn them into mummies; grave robbers who mistake them for normal coffins get this fate. Cofagrigus is said to have once been human but having forgotten its memories from when they were living in ancient times. They also enjoy eating gold nuggets. It lives in tombs and ruins waiting for victims. Cofagrigus has been used as a symbol for the wealth of kings from a bygone era.
In the anime
Major appearances
Multiple Cofagrigus debuted in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin! as guardians of the "Golden Dark Stone", a role they shared with a Sigilyph.
In Raid Battle in The Ruins!, two Cofagrigus were found at the Colossus Ruins. Goh attempted to catch them, only to be stopped by Kira. They were attacked by Pikachu, which caused them to release Shane Seeker and his Shiny Psyduck, who were trapped inside the ruins.

Trivia
- Previously, due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Cofagrigus could not be traded without a nickname in Generation V due to having the slur "fag" in its name. However, the filter has since been altered to allow Cofagrigus to be traded without a nickname.
- Cofagrigus's Attack and Special Attack stats are the reverse of Runerigus's, while their other stats are identical.
Origin
Cofagrigus's design seems to be based on a sarcophagus. It was also most likely based on supposedly Egyptian tombs. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "trap" from its builder, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of trapped tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had opened and entered King Tutankhamun's tomb, began dying after the exploration. Cofagrigus's Mummy Ability, which passively turns other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies, is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films.
Name origin
Cofagrigus may be a combination of coffin, sarcophagus and egregious. It may also come from grim.
Desukarn may be a combination of death and 棺 kan (coffin).
