In the anime, Misdreavus is shown to be able to use its "hair" to grasp objects and other Pokémon, as if it were hands. Since it loves watching frightened people, it is known to yank and bite at people's hair or sneak up on them and cry and shriek.

As a nocturnal Pokémon, it spends its days sleeping in darkness and its nights startling people with mischievous tricks. Misdreavus's large, red eyes have yellow sclerae. It has long, flowing lilac-tipped "hair".

This implies that Misdreavus retreats into the gems when it has been severely weakened. When defeated in the side series games, its body disappears, leaving only the gems around its neck behind. It has several round red gems around its neck, which are used to absorb fear and use it as nourishment. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages and resembles a ruffled dress. Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like Pokémon.
