In the East Sea form, the underside is green and the mantle is blue. The shell has two flap-like protrusions, resembling {{wp|cerata}}. These protrusions are lined with yellow. On its head are two white-tipped tentacles resembling {{wp|rhinophores}} that extend away from its face. | In the East Sea form, the underside is green and the mantle is blue.

As a result, Shellos' color and other physical differences began to vary due to environmental differences and population isolation over time. West Sea Shellos' appearance is theorized to have been influenced by warm ocean waters, while East Sea Shellos is believed to have been influenced by cold ocean waters. It is also believed that diet influences a Shellos' form, but this has yet to be proven. The two forms are still able to interbreed; the child takes the mother's form or the father's if bred with a {{p|Ditto}}. If Shellos is pushed or squeezed, a mysterious purple fluid, said to be sticky and similar to greasy sweat, will ooze out of its body. In the anime, West Sea Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well. Shellos live along the seashore. They are said to have great regenerative capabilities. The species’ diet consists of plankton. Shellos can live on land or in the sea, though its skin dries out if it stays on land for too long. | ||
