Biology
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like, bipedal Pokémon with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby ears, two small, triangular teeth in each jaw, a brown lower jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. There are two stripes on its back, which are also brown. Its arms are long, and its hands and feet have two sharp black claws. The undersides of its hands and feet have circular red pads, and its rear also has a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.
Vigoroth's heart beats at a tenfold tempo, and it cannot sit still for even a minute. Attempting to stand still or sleep raises its stress level and agitates its blood.

Trivia
- Because the only Ability Vigoroth can have is Vital Spirit, it was impossible to tuck in a Vigoroth into the Pokémon Dream World while it was available.
Origin
Vigoroth appears to be based on sloths, exhibiting traits most similar to two-toed sloths and ground sloths in particular. It also exhibits some similarities to Old World monkeys, particularly to baboons who have bright red rumps, short tails, and are known for violent outbursts just like Vigoroth.
Name origin
Vigoroth is a combination of vigor and sloth. It may also be a play on vigorous.
It may also be based on the barbaric Germanic tribe, the Visigoths.
Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 yaruki (willingness) and 樹懶 namakemono (sloth).
