Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth - six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are actually transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies with enough force to break an iron beam. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.
Mawile is typically found in . It uses its non-threatening appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws, sometimes swallowing its prey whole. When engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned to the enemy to make better use of its jaws.

Mega Mawile has two sets of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets have a spiky tuft of hair.

Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms now resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists. Mega Mawile can use both its jaws to grip on prey and tear them apart. These jaws thrash around violently.

Mawile, alongside many other Fairy-type Pokémon, appears in the music video for the song "MELLOMELLOID" (メロメロイド), composed by Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear for the Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE 18 Types/Songs. Mawile's cute nature concealing its large jaws is reflected in the song through an idol who acts cutesy and friendly in order to trick a romantic partner close to her, before revealing her true nature, showing that she has been lying all this time to trap someone. The symbolism is further reinforced by Miku's twintails and color palette being stylized to ressemble Mawile's jaw, and later on Mega Mawile's two jaws.
