Drifloon has a round, purple body with two stringy arms that have a yellow heart-shape on the end of them. Drifloon has black, dotlike eyes and a yellow "X" on its face; as Drifloon may be interpreted as the ghosts of popped balloons, this "X" may represent two pieces of tape intended to cover the hole that would have caused the balloon to deflate. A white mass of fluff that looks like a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head.
