Naganadel is an Ultra Beast that has both draconic and insectoid features. Its upper body is slender with thin arms and a long neck.

Each shoulder has a long gray spike and each hand has three pinkish-purple claws. Running down each side of its neck is a dark purple stripe, which connects and forms a loop on its chest. The lower area of the loop is fuchsia and has a short, downward extension in the middle. At the end of its long neck is its head, which has a long, spiked crest on the top. On the sides of its mouth are a pair of curved, gray spikes that act as mandibles. Its glowing cyan eyes are conjoined, rimmed with fuchsia, and have a spiky crest on either side, which gives them a visor-like appearance. A pair of light purple wings sprout from the center of its back. These wings have a single fuchsia claw at the joint, two spikes along the wing-arm and darker purple membranes with fuchsia markings near the spikes.

It resembles a swollen wasp's abdomen and is filled with poisonous liquid. It is covered in stripes of light and dark purple and has three hollow stingers at the tip.

Its main stinger can eject a luminescent, adhesive poison over a distance greater than six miles.Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Naganadel Like all Ultra Beasts, Naganadel stores Z-Power, the same energy possessed by Totem Pokémon, within its body, which takes the form of a red, flaring auraWicke, :"When the UBs pass through the Ultra Wormhole, they are bathed in a great deal of this energy and likely store it within their bodies.".
