Farfetch'd resemble brown, cartoon-like Mallard ducks, but Farfetch'd is always brown regardless of gender. It has a large head in proportion to its body, it has a yellow beak, and it bears a black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows. Its body and head are primarily brown in coloration and it has a white underbelly. It has wings as big as its body which appear to be prehensile enough to work like hands, and it always holds a leek in one of these wings. It also has yellow legs with webbed feet.
