Drifloon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a spherical, purple body with two stringy arms that have yellow, heart-shaped hands on the ends of them. At the base of its body is a frayed protrusion that resembles the tied end of a balloon. In the very center of its body is a yellow tape-like "X", which contains its small mouth in the very center. Located on either side of the "X" are its small, black eyes. A white mass of fluff that resembles a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head.
Drifloon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical, purple body. It has two stringy arms that have yellow, heart-shaped hands on the ends of them. At the base of its body is a frayed protrusion that resembles the tied end of a balloon. In the middle of its face is a yellow tape-like "X" mark, which contains its little mouth in the very center. Located on either side of the "X" are its small, black eyes. A white mass of fluff that resembles a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head. Drifloon's body is filled with air, as well as the lost spirits of people and Pokémon. Its body expands as it collects more souls. If it explodes, the souls unleash with a screaming sound. It is also rumored that Drifloon itself is reincarnated from deceased humans.


This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is known as a "Signpost for Wandering Spirits" due to its aimless drifting. Drifloon seeks out children due to it desiring company and it has been known to steal those that mistake it for a regular balloon. However, it dislikes stealing heavy children. They are created from many souls gathering together and it's round body continues to expand as it collects more. When the body explodes, the soul unleashes a screeching sound. However, due to its light weight, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. This results in Drifloon running away from any children that are rough with it. Although created by the lost spirits of Pokémon and people, as seen [[DP028|in the anime]], it can be friendly and helpful. It prefers to reside in damp, humid locations and can expand or shrink to express its feelings.
This Pokémon is known as a "Signpost for Wandering Spirits" due to its aimless drifting. Desiring company, Drifloon often seeks out children and grabs their hands. However, due to how light it is, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. This results in Drifloon running away from any children who are rough with it. Drifloon also dislikes heavy children. There are rumors that Drifloon steals children who hold onto it, guiding them to the afterlife. Despite this reputation, as seen [[DP028|in the anime]], Drifloon can be friendly and helpful. In [[M10|the movies]], Drifloon's body puffs up when they get angry or aggressive. Drifloon sightings are typically more common at night. It prefers to reside in damp, humid locations and can expand or shrink to express its feelings.

===Origin===

Drifloon appears to be based on a {{wp|balloon}}. The yellow shape around its mouth resembles a puncture bandage (its mouth being the puncture), and its heart feet resemble the weights on the strings of {{wp|gas balloon|helium balloon}}s. It also resembles the {{wp|Ctenophora|comb jelly}}, specifically the {{wp|tentaculata}}, or an "atmospheric jellyfish", {{wp|List of cryptids|cryptids}} seen floating in the sky.
Drifloon appears to be based on a {{wp|balloon}}. The yellow shape around its mouth resembles a puncture bandage (its mouth being the puncture), the white puff on its head resembles a {{wp|cloud}}, and its heart-shaped feet resemble the weights on the strings of {{wp|gas balloon|helium balloon}}s. It also resembles the {{wp|Ctenophora|comb jelly}}, specifically the {{wp|Tentaculata}}. It may also be based on {{wp|space jellyfish}} (also known as atmospheric jellyfish), an atmospheric phenomenon caused by rocket launches that are often mistaken for {{wp|cryptids}} or UFO sightings.


As a concept of a {{type|Ghost}} balloon, it may have been inspired by some ''{{wp|Kaidan}}'' ghost stories, where ghosts and spirits have been compared to balloons.
