| Durant's steel body is notable for its three distinct sections. Its Abdomen is dark gray with an ovoid shape. It has a light gray band wrapping around the middle with two circles resembling rivets near a jagged seam. Durant's thorax, its middle section, is slightly smaller, but identical in design with its abdomen, the only difference being one circle instead of two. Its head is spherical in shape containing the same light gray wrap design as its body, but it wraps from front to back. On each side of its head are large red eyes with hollow black pupils. It has two round mandibles that it uses to grab things and feed itself. The mandibles are attached below its eyes and sit in front of its horizontally opening mouth. Atop its head are two long antennae, each topped with small spheres. Durant has six black legs sprouting from its thorax. Each leg has one claw at its tip, except the front legs which each have two. | | Durant is an insectoid Pokémon with a steel body that has three distinct sections.
