Venonat is an insectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur. The fur releases a toxic liquid and it spreads when shaken violently off their bodies. A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red {{wp|compound eye}}s. Venonat's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams. | Venonat is an insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body covered in purple fur.

Venonat can be found in dense {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}}, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall. It sleeps throughout the day because the small insects it feeds on appear only at night. Both Venonat and its prey are attracted to bright lights. | Venonat can be found in dense {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}}, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall.

Venonat | Venonat seems to be based on a {{wp|flea}} due to its piercing mouthparts, round body, and tendency to hop around on its large hind legs. It may also be based on {{wp|caterpillar#Human health|venomous caterpillar}}s such as the {{wp|flannel moth|puss caterpillar}} since it is covered in long {{wp|Urticating hair|toxic hairs}} and evolves into a moth. Its large {{wp|compound eye}}s function like {{wp|radar}} and resemble {{wp|parabolic antenna}}s. | ||
