The top of Avalugg's body is flat with three horizontal cracks along the surface and there is a collection of icicles along its belly.

Hisuian Avalugg is noticeably smaller than its Kalosian counterpart, weighing only half as much. Its entire body is made of brown stone, whilst its top, along with its head, are covered in a layer of solid ice. The head of Hisuian Avalugg is larger compared to Kalosian Avalugg, and has two large gray tusk-like plates on its lower jaw. These armored plates are stronger than steel, and allow Hisuian Avalugg to break through boulders easily and shovel through deep snow.
