Biology
Physiology
Probopass has small round eyes, in contrast to Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body and has a bushy "mustache." The "mustache" appears to be iron filings caught by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are called "Mini-Noses" by the Pokédex. These "Mini-Noses" can be detached and form a new Nosepass. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.

- Some have cited Probopass's shiny form to have a resemblance to Mario, another Nintendo character, probably due to the moustache under its compass nose, and the red 'hat' upon its head.
- Probopass slightly resembles a Mr. Potato Head.
Origin
Probopass is based off of the pukau-wearing moai statues of Easter Island (with a mustache added).
Name origin
Probopass is a combination of proboscis and compass. Dainose's name is a combination of 大 dai, big, and nose – thus literally meaning "big nose." Its German name, Voluminas, comes from voluminös and Nase. Its French name, Tarinorme, comes from tarin and énorme.
