In terms of stature, he stands notably taller than Alma, measuring at least two head-lengths above him. His dog-like appearance is enhanced by his sharp fangs and lengthy, pointed claws. He's attired in a lightweight jumpsuit featuring knot buttons and an open front, exposing the black shirt worn underneath. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and he adorns a jumpsuit cinched at the waist with a black drawstring tied in a bow. Additionally, he sports goggles positioned atop his forehead.
