It has 6 legs, gold protrusions that look like external ribs, and golden horns on its head. Its neck has five red stripes and 4 black stripes. On its back, it has a black stripe pattern that extends to its legs. It has black wings with three red thorn-like appendages called '''Girasols''' (a rare type of opal) coming out of them. Giratina's Origin Forme is more serpentine (like an amphiptere) than its Altered Forme. Its wings are now shaped like tentacles with the red thorn-like appendages sticking out at the end. Its mouth is now behind the two appendages in front of its face. They open when Giratina roars or etc. The horns on its head are still the same. Giratina in Origin Forme has five rows of golden spikes protruding out of the torso and near the tail. Five gray and red stripes are partially overlapped by these spikes.[[File:487-origin-2-.png|thumb]]

When in its Origin Forme, it retains its phenomenal amounts of HP, like any other Pokémon that is in their alternate formes, and it focuses on more offensive moves, and less on the defensive moves. It switches its Attack stats with its Defense stats in its Origin Forme, making it a great powerhouse. It is also a vastly powerful Pokémon that can use these benefits to fit the trainer's focus on attacking.

*Giratina is believed by some to be the Pokémon representation of the devil, its story of being sent to the distortion world fir its behaviour is very similar to how Satan was banished to hell by God for rebelling against him. Giratina's origin and altered form may be reference to the devil because in his origin form it looks similar to a snake while in its altered form he looks sort of like a basilisk, Satan has been known to turn into a snake and a basilisk many times in the Bible, while in altered form Giratina has six spikes on his wings and six legs while in Origin form he has six tentacles, six spikes on his tail and six golden spikes around his neck. Interestingly, the number of the devil is 666.
