The figure represents a "Wild Boar Alien" and features black and green skin with prominent orange spikes that are detachable and emerge from the top of its head. The packaging includes an image of the character from the series, with bold text reading: "ALIENS" and "WILD / BOAR / ALIEN / WITH / Hidden Power- / Attack Spikes."
