In its Normal Form, Terapagos is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an indigo {{wp|tortoise}}. Its head, legs, and tail stem from a cyan, hexagonal shell with the Terastal symbol on its back: a white hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of its back. Its neck and legs each have a cyan star and ring rub, its feet each have three toes, and its tail has a cyan four-pointed star at its tip. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming and star-shaped pupils. It has a diamond-like pattern on its forehead and two diamonds hanging like earrings on both sides of its head. lastly, it has a "ponytail" made up of three segments of diamond-like shapes. The segments reduce in size as they get farther from the head and gain a purplish tint to them. | In its Normal Form, Terapagos is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an indigo {{wp|tortoise}}.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and particularly weak Pokémon, but it is capable of assuming a dormant state when it needs to slumber or when its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size, which makes itself look like an ordinary jewel.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> It also has the ability to crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield around itself when necessary, even in its dormant state. As depicted in [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|Pokémon Horizons]], Terapagos is shown to be unable to move if it's turned upside down. This species is seemingly able to live for millions of years while slumbering within its crystal shell. Terapagos inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era. It was thought that this species went extinct, with it said to have been caught up in seismic shifts that occurred about 2,000,000 years ago. However, {{ga|Terapagos|one Terapagos}} managed to survive by crystallizing its own body and going into hibernation in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], where it laid low until the present day.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_normal_form/ Scarlet and Violet | Normal Form Terapagos]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> According to [[Briar]], Terapagos is made of [[Terastal energy]].

[[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos.

Terapagos appears to naturally cause glowing crystals to form around it as it slumbers thanks to its ability to transform its own energy into hard crystals, which gave Area Zero the distinctive appearance it possesses. For a long time, many thought Terapagos was fake and that Heath had made it up, but Briar proved its existence by writing her own book: "[[Briar's Book|The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]", which details the expedition she, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and the {{player}} had in Area Zero Underdepths. | [[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity.
