Deridovely

"Forget it! It's pointless!"

- Deridovely

Deridovely (デリダブリー, Deridaburī) is a Shinigami who spends his time gambling.

Appearance
He is humanoid in appearance, but wears a bone mask over his face. He carries a scythe, making him thematically similar to the classical depiction of the Grim Reaper.

Character
He usually gambles with Gook and Ryuk.

Plot
He appears gambling with Gook in the first episode and witnessed the way of Ryuk to the Human World. Thereafter, it was absent from the series, and only appeared in the Ryuk's flashbacks in which he had to Light on the Shinigami Realm. His last official appearance in the series was in the OVA Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God, where the Unnamed Shinigami was talking to him, Gook and Zellogi, asking where Ryuk was.

Conception
Obata said that he based Deridovely on a "gross-looking transparent insect." Obata believes that the bandages aid the design.
