Gholdengo is a bipedal humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is composed of 1,000 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s stacked together, giving it a golden, cylindrical appearance. Its face has oval eyes and a mouth displaying a crooked smile. Its body has skinny arms with large hands, and short, stumpy legs with no toes. It has three fingers on each hand and four tufts of dreadlock-like "hair", all made out of coins. It wears the strap from a {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s chest as a belt, using it to fasten the chest to its side. The belt buckle has a stylized number 1,000 on it. Gholdengo is capable of creating a golden surfboard out of coins as a means of movement.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Gholdengo's golden humanoid appearance, together with its position as the 1,000th Pokémon in the National Pokédex, may allude to award statuettes, which are often made with gold and given to honor achievements or milestones. Gholdengo also seems to take inspiration from {{wp|surfing|surfers}}, given the golden surfboard it rides on as well as its dreadlock-like appendages and friendly nature, befitting of the archetypal "surfer dude." It also bears some physical resemblance to a {{wp|tube man}}. The cylindrical shape of its body is similar to a {{wp|coin wrapper}}. The way its chest is attached to its belt resembles a tool belt.

The association of a ghost with coins may draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gholdengo may also be based on {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend described by Spanish {{wp|conquistador}}s about a lost city of gold, originally a king whose body was covered in gold. The legend is believed to have stemmed from a ceremony done by the {{wp|Muisca}} people in modern-day {{wp|Colombia}}, in which their ruler was initiated by having him covered in gold dust and floated into a lake on a raft. The ruler would then plunge into the lake to wash the gold off as a ritual offering. This raft may be why Gholdengo has a surfboard-like platform. By extension, its elongated body proportions and eye hollows may be inspired by the style of {{wp|tunjo}}s, Muisca gold figurines that were commonly used to decorate burial places and shrines.
