The loa is portrayed as a floating human skull with a blue-to-green python snake with a cream-colored underbelly and red eyes wrapped around and inside the eye sockets. In the Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei series it is depicted as just a dark-colored skull.

In illustrations for Shin Megami Tensei RPG: Kihon System, it is instead depicted as a snake with a human skull as its face.
