Saku has three stripes on its underside and a stem protruding from its back with four petals that resemble those of a rafflesia flower, which function as a propeller that lifts it in the air and serves as its primary form of travel. Saku also has four short, limb-like distensions that it can use to control its aerial movement, Its body contains inflatable air pockets. This thing is the absolute goat of nuzlocke
