Purugly is a large, striped cat Pokémon with big ears and a long, spiraled tail that forks into two fluffy ends. It wraps the two ends of its tail around its waist to make itself look more intimidating. It is a brazen brute that barges its way into another Pokémon's nest and claims it as its own. Though impudent and difficult to tame, Purugly enjoys great popularity due to its fluffy, velveteen fur. It likes to glare at people frighteningly. Though bulky, it is quick and light on its feet.
