Drapion resembles a scorpion, as does its pre-evolution, Skorupi. Unlike a scorpion, however, Drapion has a claw on the end of its tail. Drapion's body is purple, with alternating shades of lavender and violet. It is able to turn its head 180 degrees.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Behavior
