Xatu are green condor-like Pokémon with long, red-and-black tipped white wings that cover most of the Pokémon's front. Underneath its wings are designs that resemble red-colored eyes. Along with its main green coloration, Xatu's designs have accentuations of black, yellow, and red. Notably, its head resembles much of its pre-evolution's round body, with the exception of a longer, slightly hooked beak and dual, longer feather crests. Xatu's feet have only two toes, one in front and one in back. Xatu's design is similar to a totem pole or a kachina doll.
