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. | ||
Due to its aimless drifting, this species is known as "Signpost for Wandering Spirits". It has been known to steal children that mistake it for a regular balloon. However, due to its light weight, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. Although created by lost spirits of Pokémon and people, [[DP028|as seen 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. | Due to its aimless drifting, this species is known as "Signpost for Wandering Spirits".
