decidueuze

Decidueuze is a fan-created avian Pokémon-inspired species appearing in unofficial lore derived from the Rowlet–Dartrix–Decidueye line. In many fan works it is described as a late-stage evolution or regional variant of Decidueye that emerges in temperate forests during autumn and moonlit nights. The concept is used in fan-made games, art, and wiki entries, but it is not part of official Pokémon canon.

Typically depicted as larger and more statuesque than Decidueye, Decidueuze retains an owl-like head and leaf-patterned plumage. Its primary color is emerald green with parchment-colored highlights, and it wears a cape of broad leaf-shaped feathers that can be sheathed or unfurled. A quill-like tail and wing spikes give it a weaponized silhouette. In many depictions, its eyes glow amber or pale gold, and a subtle spectral aura trails when it moves.

Fan depictions commonly assign Decidueuze a Grass/Ghost typing. It is said to blend into foliage and move with uncanny silence, using its leaf blades to sweep and strike. A signature move in some materials is “Quillblade” or “Spectral Quill,” a precision attack that deals physical and ghostly damage while leaving a leaf-like imprint. It is also described as capable of briefly becoming incorporeal to pass through obstacles or dodge attacks.

It is described as nocturnal and solitary, inhabiting dense forests and deciduous woodlands. It hunts small prey by ambush, using its camouflage and leaf-like appendages to mislead predators and prey alike. Communication is through soft hoots and rustling leaves, with territorial displays during the autumn breeding season.

Origins vary by source. Some depict Decidueuze as the result of a post-evolution triggered by an autumnal event or an exclusive regional stone; others treat it as a separate, mythic form of Decidueye. As a fan-created concept, details differ across communities, and there is no official recognition.
