Across both Brute and Mage versions, its head resembles that of a mandrill, having violet fur with five spikes protruding from its sides and a cyan beard. Its eyes are black with red pupils and surrounded by green fur, its nose is blue, and its mouth is vibrant pink with twin plaque-stained fangs. Its torso consists of a blue and pink box with green edges, the Nightmare insignia emblazoned at the top, and cyan markings. At the center of each face of the box is a red and green flower pattern.
