It is a large, birdlike creature, resembling a parrot or flamingo, with bright a bright pink body, a pale face, long brown legs with pink feathery joints and many smaller green and yellow feathers decorating it's body. It will not take damage if hit in the legs, and must instead be defeated by attacking it's joints, which will cause it to lean over, exposing it's body.

In the family's scientific name, the genus ''Pseudoactinia'' would imply that they are imitations of mollusks of some kind, with "Pseudo" meaning not genuine, and "{{w|Actinia}}" referring to a real world genus of sea anemone.
