Physiology
Purugly looks like a big gray and white cat, with a tail similar to Glameow. It still has a crescent shape head. Its ears are pointed and purple-colored. It has whiskers with a zigzag like pattern at the end of them. The pattern on its belly makes it appear to be wearing a frilly apron. It's tail is now forked, but it usually keeps it clasped around it's waist.

None.
Special abilities
Despite appearing very sluggish, when angered, they will not be reluctant to attack and can be quite fast.
Being fully evolved Pokémon, they can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Purugly act smug and fed up most of the time. A smiling Purugly is said to be rare.

Trivia
- Despite looking very fat, Speed is its highest stat.
- Mars has an "illegal" Purugly in the Valley Windworks; it is at level 16 (Diamond and Pearl)/17 (Platinum), while Glameow evolves at level 38.
Origin
Purugly is based on a wild tiger cat, though its appearance is closer to an overweight tabby cat. Based off of Purugly's traits (snobby personality, uses tail as a corset, etc), resembles upper class women of the Victorian Era.
Name origin
Its English name comes from the words "purr" and "ugly". Its Japanese name may be derived from a combination of デブ debu, fat, にゃ nya, meow, and the English word "cat". Although considering the English name is Purugly, it is also likely the "bu" in Bunyatto comes from the word busaiku (不細工), which means "ugly".
