Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, his appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on his forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. His left eye, which allows him to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil. His hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of his face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on his hind legs. | Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, his appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on his forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon.

He gained special powers due to adapting to the environment of Kitakami. He is highly alert and rarely makes himself seen, but he tends to appear during foggy nights. He is the only Ursaluna that is known to exist in the present day. | ||

Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds. | Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas.
