His appearance resembles a large flying lion-type monster, with an scale-armored back and both dragon tail and wings. He also has red demonic eyes.
Nemean is a chimeric monster made from a combination of various other creatures much like a manticore. It has the body shape, shaggy mane, and a tuft at the end of its long tail like a lion but with an scale-armoured back and both dragon tail and wings. It has red demonic eyes. Most of its body, including its fur and scaled abdomen are cream-coloured, while the draconic features are taupe and its face, inside of its ears, underside, and claws are light purple. The webbing on its dragon's wings are orange. In battle, it can deliver vicious slashes with its claws and can breathe out intense flames, while its tough hide makes it highly impervious to status ailments. In later games, Nemean gained the ability to breathe out bursts of blinding light and call down thunderbolts.
