Sneasel is a bipedal Pokémon which vaguely resembles a mix of cat and weasel. Its body is predominantly blueish-black, but it possesses bright red feather-like growths on its left ear and lower back. Its most striking features are the two retractable claws on its front and back paws. It also has distinctive yellow markings on its face and chest. Its unusual facial markings, which resemble eyelashes, are found on both males and females; these markings strongly resemble the false eyelashes worn by the primary character in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
