Characteristics

Latias is a red-and-white dragon/bird like creature with small arms and feet, and spiky wings on its back. Though it appears to have white flesh underneath the red carapace, it is actually covered with loads of very small feathers made to look smooth by a glass-like coat of shiny down. It has a triangle-shaped blue marking on its belly that is similar of a Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss marking. It is able to alter its appearance with this coat by enfolding its body with its down and refracting light in unique ways. With this it can seemingly transform into a human, or render itself invisible like a chameleon (compare with Kecleon).

Latias is highly sensitive to the emotions of people and can telepathically communicate with people. If it senses any hostility, this Pokémon ruffles the feathers all over its body and cries shrilly to intimidate the foe. It therefore rarely makes contact with people or other Pokémon. They often disappear if they sense enemies or people with the hostilities as described above.

Latias, though rare, is not a one-of-a-kind Pokémon like most other Legendary Pokémon. They have been occasionally sighted in small herds of several members. Legendary Pokémon ) are characters in the Pokémon franchise. ...
