Along its spine, there are short, spiky projections that are lighter blue at their tips, resembling small fins or spines. Its limbs are short and muscular, ending in clawed feet. On the face of the creature, it has small, black, beady eyes and a short snout. The creature is sitting on a white or off-white page, which features two sections of text, both framed by ornate gold borders with blue accents.
