Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] that resembles a jellyfish. The bell is semi-translucent and encircled with several white, star-shaped markings. The wavy rim of the bell flares outward and is bright blue. Its tentacles appear gelatinous and give it a vaguely humanoid shape. Several tentacles mesh together forming the appearance of a cape or long hair, while four shorter tentacles resemble shorter hair and arms. Two long tentacles make up the legs of the human shape. In addition to its shape, it is sometimes seen acting like a young girl. According to its concept art, Nihilego's body is made of various types of glass. | Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] that resembles a jellyfish.

Nihilego live in another world named [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. It is a parasitic organism and, by latching onto one's head, is capable of injecting a neurotoxin that subtly alters the thoughts and actions of any human or Pokémon that becomes its host. This neurotoxin stimulates intense feelings of excitement while causing a loss of inhibitions, which acts to forcibly bring out any latent potential within the host while wearing away at their minds. During this time, people and Pokémon infested with Nihilego are known to become much more violent. Nihilego's exact levels of intelligence are unknown, but according to [[Wicke]], the [[Aether Foundation]]'s research suggests that it acts mainly on a self-preservation instinct.<ref>https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/ultra-beasts/</ref> In the [[JN111|anime]], Nihilego are capable of creating illusions and seeing the memories of humans. The anime also showed that Nihilego can demonstrate emotions other than self-preservation and the ability to heal people. | Nihilego live in another world named [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

As shown with [[Lusamine]], Nihilego is capable of physically merging with a host. In this "merged" state, the bell loses its stars, developing several iridescent spots across its surface. The host's body is visible within the bell with their legs dangling beneath it. Its eight tentacles become long and flattened and have numerous deep black spots with various colored diamond-shapes inside. Four of the tentacles are connected to the bell via frilly white structures; these tentacles have four spines protruding from them that can be used similarly to hands. The remaining four tentacles each terminate in a single larger spine that, [[SM054|in the anime]], injects its toxins into the ground while sharp rocks grow below. While the anime shows that Nihilego can willingly end this merger and it may be disrupted in other ways as well, the lingering toxins and the shock of the separation can leave the host in critical condition, both physically and psychologically. | As shown with [[Lusamine]], Nihilego is capable of physically merging with a host.

The toxins produced by Nihilego may remain in the host's body, even after Nihilego has left their body. This can leave the former host to remain ill for unspecified amounts of time and treatment may be necessary.
