Additionally, it has a short, pointed tail.
Meganium is a quadruped, pale green Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|saurpoda|sauropod}} dinosaur. It has a long neck, yellow eyes, a short, blunt snout, and two {{wp|stamen}}-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling its neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.


It is said that Meganium's petals can release an aroma that can calm aggressive feelings, and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its powerful and soothing regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tend to be a very docile species and has been portrayed as a peacemaker in [[AG161|the anime]]. Meganium can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.
