Biology
Virizion is a deer or antelope-like, quadruped Pokémon that is primarily green. On the sides of its head are horns that end in dull, curled points. It has a pointed snout with a black blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. Its face, hind legs, and underside are white. There is a pinked-tipped leaf on each side of its neck, and leafy tufts on its shoulders. On its back, there are pointed tufts of fur forming a medium-long tail. Its lower legs resemble knee-high boots with pink highlights at the knees, and it has black hooves.
Like the other members of its quartet, Virizion battled against humans in order to protect Pokémon. Its horns are as sharp as blades, and are used to cut opponents.

Origin
Virizion appears to be based on the character of Aramis from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like Aramis, it is the best at swordplay. Aramis in the novels was also the most feminine, vain, and romantic, qualities that Virizion possesses relative to its comrades. It physically resembles antelopes, such as the gerenuk or other species of gazelle. It may also be based on female deer. Like its comrades, its nose resembles that of a sheep.
Name Origin
Virizion may be derived from viridian (a bluish-green color), or simply viridis (Latin for green), and possibly champion.
