Frosmoth is a white, moth-like Pokémon with a round body, of which the upper half is thicker, giving it the appearance of a ruff. It has deep blue eyes and long eyelashes. It has a blue jewel between its eyes and two long antennae, which are gray at the tip with trapezoid patterns. These antennae are used to detect air currents. Frosmoth has two large wings which are gray with a white rim; the patterns on its wings are the same as that on the tip of its antennae. Frosmoth typically keeps its arms crossed, and its usually obscured, light blue palms each have a heart-shaped pad.
The ice scales from Frosmoth's wings can fall like snow while it flies over the fields and mountains. The wings have a temperature of −290 °F (−180 °C). Should anyone desecrate the fields and mountains, Frosmoth will show no mercy. Frosmoth flies around using its icy wings to create blizzards in order to chase away offenders. Frosmoth enjoys drinking clean meltwater.
Anyone who messes with the snowfields will have to deal with freezing scales unleashed by Frosmoth. But just watching its elegant fluttering can be wonderfully calming and peaceful.
Biologically, Frosmoth may draw inspiration from the Ourapteryx genus of moths, its typing inspired by O. nivea (Japanese: 雪尾尺蛾, “snow swallowtail moth”) in particular. Given its feathered antennae and green-hued Shiny variant, it may draw additional inspiration from the also-tailed moon moths, though these could also reference other geometer moths (such as the emeralds). It may draw further, mythological inspiration from Morana, a Slavic winter goddess.
