Yungoos is a long-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a mongoose. It is covered in brown fur with a yellow stripe down its back and underside. It has short, rounded ears on the sides of its head, a short snout with a pink nose, and a large mouth full of pointed teeth. There are three black claws on each of its four short legs. Despite its length, Yungoos is thick-bodied and has a wide, flat tail with longer fur on the tip. | Yungoos is a long-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a mongoose.

Yungoos has a voracious appetite and is always hungry. Much of its body is dominated by its stomach, and it is able to digest food quickly. Its strong teeth allow it to crush and consume the hardest of objects. This Pokémon stalks through its territory searching for food until it passes out from exhaustion. However, it is believed that Yungoos decides its territory based on safety so that it can collapse anywhere without fear.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/yungoos/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Yungoos]</ref> This Pokémon is not native to the [[Alola]] region and was imported there. | Yungoos has a voracious appetite and is always hungry.

Yungoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, such as the {{wp|Small Indian mongoose}}, which was imported to {{wp|Hawaii}} to counter the rat problems on sugar cane plantations. | Yungoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, such as the {{wp|Small Indian mongoose}}, which was imported to {{wp|Hawaii}} to counter the rat problems on sugar cane plantations. However, the small Asian mongoose is diurnal while rats are nocturnal, thus the small Asian mongoose was ineffective at its intended role and became an {{wp|invasive species}}. This is reflected in-game by the fact that Yungoos can only be found during the day, while Alolan Rattata can only be found at night. | ||
