Tuft is a mole like Pokémon, primarily Green and Brown in colour. Tuft has a small head, which is pointed at the end. Tuft has small, slightly ovacular shaped eyes, which are bright green. These eyes help it find its way through tunnels and burrows that it digs. It has a red, round nose on the end of its head, and a long, blade of grass on the top its head, which it uses to photosythesize. This energy can be used to help it dig, or to provide it with food when in dire need. Tuft has small arms and legs, which it uses to dig.
