Biology

Physiology

Hoppip has a small round red body with long green sprouts coming out of its head. It is extremely light and can easily blow away in the wind. It also has big ears, small arms and legs and a tiny tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

All it needs is a light breeze and Hoppip can be lifted off the ground and blown by the wind.

Behavior

Hoppip are by necessity social creatures. Their light bodies make them extremely vulnerable to winds, so they cluster together and link sprouts with each other in order to anchor themselves in place.

Its Japanese name is a combination of 葉 ha, leaf, and 根っ子 nekko, root. 跳ねる haneru, to jump or hop, and 羽 hane, wing, may also be part of its name.
