Snivy is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail and has yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protrude from its shoulders and bend backward. Its slender arms have three fingers, while its tiny feet have no digits. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail. | Snivy is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside.

This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves. However, the tail will begin to droop when Snivy loses energy. Snivy can use its vines with incredible adaptive and dexterity skills, to make up for having short arms. This Pokémon has a calm, collected demeanor and is very intelligent. Snivy prefers to be alone and avoid groups whenever it can. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. | This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves.

Snivy is based on a {{wp|snake}}. Designer Reiko Tanoue mentioned that the idea for Snivy's design came from a picture book which mentions snakes that have the appearance of vines;<ref name=Pokebeach/> the specific snake may be the {{wp|vine snake}}, {{wp|tree snake}}, or {{wp|Opheodrys|green snake}}. Unlike real snakes, Snivy was designed with arms and legs to make it appear non-threatening, so as to not put off players; it gradually becomes more snake-like as it evolves.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Additionally, some of Snivy's features may be inspired by {{wp|legless lizard}}s, {{wp|grass lizard}}s, {{wp|Asian grass lizard}}s, or {{wp|skinks}}. The shape of Snivy's head, body, and the protrusions on its shoulders may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers. | Snivy is based on a {{wp|snake}}.
