IT HAS A LONG NECK WITH A THIN BLACK LINE AROUND IT. IT USES ITS NECK FOR REACHING TREETOPS TO GORGE ON ITS MOST FAVORED FRUIT. SINCE IT ATE ONLY THIS KIND OF FRUIT CONTINUOUSLY, THE FRUIT BEGAN TO GROW AROUND ITS NECK. THESE YELLOW, BANANA-LIKE FRUITS CAN BE PICKED AND CONSUMED BY OTHER POKÉMON OR HUMANS, AND GROW TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE OF THE RAPID PRODUCTION OF SUGAR IN TROPIUS'S LEAVES. ITS FEET HAVE TOENAILS THE SAME COLOR AS ITS FRUIT.
