Yanappu’s eyes are oval-shaped, with large pupils, and the lower half of its face is yellow with a small, dot-like nose. Its upper body and its skinny forelimbs are also yellow, and its hands seem to have no fingers, aside from thumbs. Yanappu's lower body is green with small feet, and its wiry tail is tipped with two leaves.
