Gastly appears to be nothing more than a black ball of ghostly matter or gas that is surrounded by a purple glow of smog. Because of the gaseous body, Gastly will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds. Gastly has big, white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it.  
Gastly is a black, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|spheroid}} Pokémon surrounded by a purple gas. It has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round "body," they are surrounded by visible eyelid marks. The gaseous "aura" surrounding the main body is highly toxic: it can induce fainting and suffocation, and is capable of enshrouding an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds. As 95% of its body is composed of gasses, Gastly will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds.
 
[[EP023|In the anime]], Gastly will often prank and scare people for fun. It is also able to create hands out of the gas and go through solid objects. Gastly is capable of toppling an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas. Gastly are often seen in old, dilapidated buildings, but it can also be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.
The [[EP023|anime]] suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frighting and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it also demonstrates a willingness to [[EP095|preserve]] or [[EP020|pass on]] the memories of departed humans. It is capable of phasing through solid objects, [[EP020|changing its form]], and [[AG416|creating illusions]], as well as forming tangible hands out of its gasses.
