- "Xerneas has the power to share eternal life; this occurs as the horns on its head shine in seven colors."

Xerneas is a blue and black, quadrupedal, stag-like cervine Pokémon with an eight-horned set of antlers extending out from its head, four on each side. Xerneas's coloration changes slightly depending on what mode it is in: Active Mode or Neutral Mode. In Active Mode, each horn is pale gold and adorned with a colorful, three-part glowing protrusion twining through the horn (orange, red, purple, and teal-blue), one side mirroring the other. The colors gradually turn lighter to darker when moving from base to tip. In Neutral Mode, the horns are pale blue and the protrusions the same blue as its upper body. Xerneas's head is blue with two horns on either side of its head, and the root of its horns mark its face, just below the eye and over the nose. Its eyes are the same color as its fur, and its pupils are X-shaped. The blue portion of its body ends at the chest area where the "fur" juts outward to the side, similar to the blue horns on its face. On its breast is an inverted V-shape that is also pale gold in Active Mode and pale blue in Neutral Mode. The inside of the V-shape is black and extends into its lower body.
The rest of its body is black with a blue stripe running along its spine; when it is in Active Mode, the shine from its horns decorate its back in small, multicolored spots. It has a slim, fluffy black tail where the blue stripe ends. Its legs are fashioned like blades with forward-pointing "hooks" at the tips, creating a cross shape, with the main "edges" trimmed with the same color as the horns (pale gold in Active Mode, pale blue in Neutral Mode); the trim on its forelegs further map a crude sword-like pattern: a long blade, a cross-guard, and a hilt.

A calm being that revers life, Xerneas is generally a pacifist, a defender and protector rather than a warrior. That being said, when life in a devastating scale is threatened, Xerneas will leap into the fray without fear. Devout of the life being are not uncommon, but Xerneas is an elusive creature that rarely makes itself known to humanity.

- "The guardian of life and the bitter kiss of death are twins of the same time."

Arceus guided the light before it with a steady hand, watching calmly as pink sparks burst off it in every direction and solidified into copies of the First Born. They drifted down to the swirling blue orb below, seeking out every inch of it to populate with new life...
And to guide that life, Arceus took the last bit of the glow before it and rent it in twain. Bringing forward two beings from this light, it formed Xerneas and Yveltal, the guardians of the life cycle. To Xerneas, Arceus bid it forth to the world, to walk the mountains and forests, the streams and valleys. To it, Arceus gifted control of life abundant, a fervor to protect all that lived and thrived from this time forth. Xerneas's antlers rattled and glowed as it descended to settle upon the world, embracing wildlife that sprung up around it in gentle caress...
