Ogerpon is a small, green humanoid Pokémon. It has a green torso with white flowers and yellow dots and long black legs with two toes on each foot. Between its toes are sprouts with two leaves. A green, leafy cloak-like structure extends from its head, the neck of which appears to be a large, thorny vine. Two thorns stick out prominently from the top, resembling two large horns, a large leaf growing out behind them. This "cloak" moves as if Ogerpon has arms underneath it, but a close look at its jumping animation shows that Ogerpon has neither arms or even shoulders, making the "cloak" actually a prehensile extension of its head that allows it to grab and manipulate objects via the large "sleeves" (as well as giving space to store its masks). Underneath the mask it usually wears, Ogerpon has an orange face, and yellow eyes shaped like a star. In battle, it wields a large, spiky cudgel wrapped in ivy. Ogerpon is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Ogerpon and its former companion were shunned by the people of Kitakami due to their strange appearance, and so they lived in a nearby mountain, isolated from the villagers. The village mask-maker took pity on the pair and crafted four beautiful masks for them, allowing them to blend in with the people during the village festival. However, their fame attracted three greedy Pokémon: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti, who attacked Ogerpon's companion in their cave while Ogerpon was away, stealing all but the Teal Mask and leaving no trace of the companion when Ogerpon returned. Filled with rage, Ogerpon attacked and defeated the three Pokémon in the village, but its anger caused the villagers to fear it even more. Thus, Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti were immortalized by the unaware villagers as the Loyal Three, while Ogerpon was left alone in its cave, saddened by the events that had transpired. It mainly resides in the Dreaded Den. There is a myth that Ogerpon will supposedly steal the souls of humans without masks late at night.
Ogerpon has a curious and mischievous personality. It enjoys spending time with humans while wearing a mask to blend in. It can confuse foes with its nimble movements and kicks. Ogerpon can draw power from the masks it wears, granting it different elements for its cudgel to use. Ogerpon can become weaker should any of its masks get stolen. Returning the mask can restore Ogerpon's full power. As seen in its idle and attack animations, Ogerpon stores its masks and cudgel under its cloak. It also has been alive for hundreds of years.
Ogerpon is the only Pokémon capable of using the move Ivy Cudgel.
