Goomy looks like a light purple, vaguely slug-like pile of goo. The top half of its body is a lighter purple than its bottom half, and the two halves are separated by a squiggly, dark purple outline decorated with five green dots. It has beady eyes, and it has two rows of two horn-like structures on top of its head.
Goomy is a Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|slug}} with beady black eyes. The lower half of its body is light purple, while the upper half is a paler shade of purple. Along the dividing line of the two colors are five large, green spots. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns; the hind pair is slightly longer than the front pair. These sensitive horns are used to check its surroundings.


Goomy is widely considered the weakest Dragon-type Pokémon. Its body is made mostly of water. Once it dries out, it is unable to breathe and dies. Because of this, it hides in damp and shady places, such as swamps, to keep its body slimy. This slime is germ-laden, and makes punches and kicks aimed at it slide off harmlessly. It uses its sensitive horns to check out its surroundings. As seen in the anime, its diet consists of leaves.
Goomy is considered the weakest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Dragon-type. Its body is mostly water and is covered by a germ-laden mucous membrane. This slimy layer causes physical attacks to slime off harmlessly. However, it becomes unable to breathe and will die if its body dries out. Because of this, it stays in damp, shady areas. As seen in [[XY055|the anime]], its diet consists of leaves.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Goomy greatly resembles the prehistoric ''{{wp|wiwaxia}}''. Goomy seems to be based on soft bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; its typing and eventual dragon design in evolution may be a reference to the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}. It may also be based upon the concept of living slime in popular culture.
