Biology[]
Riolu is a mostly blue, bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon. Its legs and torso are colored black. Its tail is blue and it has a yellow collar. There are rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws, which could be the beginning of the spikes on its evolved form's forepaws. It has a black "mask" and red eyes. Also, like its evolved form, Riolu stands on its toes instead of its entire foot.
