Zangoose are fairly large mammalian Pokémon that have the characteristics of mongooses and cats. They are mostly white in color, but possess deep red markings on its face, chest and paws. These markings make it appear that it has been involved in a vicious fight and is covered in "blood". They have long sharp claws that are their main weapons. In earlier sprites, these claws were purple in color.

Zangoose's name is a portmanteau of ''mongoose'', a small, cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes, and 刪 ''san'', cut down. Or may come from 残痕 "zankon", scars due to the markings in its body. It may also be a portmanteau of "mongoose" with "zangado", portuguese for "angry", due to its ferocious behavior and look.
