Nuzleaf is a bipedal Pokémon with a single green leaf atop its head. The leaf is smaller on the female. This Pokémon is mostly brown with a beige mask marking on its face. Its bulky thighs are also beige and have thin striations, and there are what appear to be two nipples on its chest. It has thin arms with mitten-like hands. If its long, pointed nose is grabbed, Nuzleaf will lose its power.

Using the leaf on its head as a flute, it makes music with leaves that creates a sense of unease in people. However, it can also play comforting melodies. Nuzleaf lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}} and is skilled at climbing, but it will come out of the forest to frighten people. It has an odd power that manifests as the move {{m|Extrasensory}}; its former [[signature move]].

In ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', multiple Nuzleaf were causing trouble {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}' Pokémon were separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and lost in a forest.

In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R & R!]]'', two Trainers' Nuzleaf were captured by the Matori Matrix but later freed by Ash and his friends.

Nuzleaf appears to be based on a sprouting {{wp|acorn}} as well as a ''{{wp|tengu}}'' - Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that have long noses, use their supernatural powers to protect forests, and enjoy playing cruel tricks on people. Its tendency to cause fear in others by playing a grass flute is reminiscent of {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}}, the Greek god of nature known for playing reed pipes and shouting loudly to cause panic if awoken from his nap. Its wooden, humanoid body and long nose are also reminiscent of {{wp|Pinocchio}}.   

Nuzleaf may be a combination of ''{{tt|nuzzle|to rub with the nose}}'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''.

Konohana may be a combination of 木の葉 ''konoha'' (leaves) and 鼻 ''hana'' (nose). It may also literally be 巨の鼻 ''konohana'' (big nose).
