Huntail is a light-blue aquatic Pokémon with a serpentine body. Orange, semi-circular fins run the length of its spine, and there are two additional fins on the underside of its lower jaw. A large, fan-like fin projects from the top of its head. Its body and face is dotted with white spots that are bordered by orange rings. There are also orange rings surrounding its eyes, and it has a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. The tip of its tail is shaped similarly to a fish with a single dorsal and pectoral fin and glowing eyespots. It uses this fish-like tail to attract prey, and then uses its mouth to grab and swallow the prey whole. It swims by wiggling its body, and its eyes can see even in darkness. Its sturdy spine allows it to survive high pressure deep under the sea.
