Snottle has a bizarre appearance, consisting of an unusual oval-shaped head mostly dark green in color, small yellow eyes and a prominent nose. Atop his head are two green horns. The rest of his body is khaki in color, as well of the lower side of his head. He is seen with his index fingers in both holes of his nose. He has an egg-shaped chest.
In the anime, it is revealed that he was once a snot that came out of a child's nose, being Nate's, which eventually became Snottle after being sucked by Whisper's vacuum, and since then, he wanted Nate to acknowledge that he was the snot, and wants to be acknowledged, but Nate then disapproved of the notion.
Jibanyan is Nate's usual choice to deal with Snottle, much to the dismay of the cat Yo-kai. It isn't until the detective case that Jibanyan comes to sympathize with Snottle to the point of being hard to Nate for trying to evade him.
Snottle's appearance and personality is a stark contrast to both of Kyubi and Venoct; nevertheless he is seen along with them. He saved them from one of Cuttincheez's gas attacks at one point.
Snottle makes whoever is Inspirited pick their noses, specifically with both index fingers in each nostril.
It is also revealed in the anime that Snottle is not one entity, but multiple, as many of him were also born from Nate's snots, with one such charging at Nate as the original Snottle called for aid, to the dismay of Nate.
Snottle tends to appear at various locations standing out in the open. He will battle you without prompting once you speak to him. He will give you a reward once you defeat him. Known locations include: The bridge in Miners Path on Mt. Wildwood, Prayer's Peak Tunnel in Blossom Heights, Shopper's Row inside Mary's Coin Laundry, Riverbanks in Harrisville, Excellent Tower in the Excellent Expressway, Wisteria Apartments in Breezy Hills, Ocean Beach in San Fantastico and Dreamer's Field Station in Little Haven Station.
Snottle can be found in rifts and Ark doors in Blossom Heights. He can also be found in the tutorial, Gargaros, horse head, first Oni Orb and Hyakki-hime (Shadowside) missions in PuraPura Blasters. He can also be freed from the Oni Crank-a-kai.

In the anime
Main article: Snottle (anime)
Snottle first appears at the end of Yo-kai Snottle, where he causes Nate to pick his nose, much to his annoyance. Nate summons Jibanyan to combat him, but the cat Yo-kai retaliates by using his Paws of Fury on both of them for ruining his meeting with a member of Next HarMEOWny.
Snottle becomes a regular in the dynamic between Nate and the Yo-kai as evidenced in EP071, EP074, EP084 and EP098:
In EP071, Snottle terrorizes Nate during the Yo-kai Holiday. As every Yo-kai was observing that event, Nate even tried to get the Paranormal Expert to try to exorcise Snottle. It doesn't go well. Once the Yo-kai Holiday is over, Nate tries to summon his Yo-kai friends to deal with Snottle only to find them too tired from their holiday to deal with Snottle.
In EP074, Nate summons Robonyan to use a beam that would turn him, Whisper, and Jibanyan invisible so that they would pick their nose without being seen by anyone after they were inspirited by Snottle.
In EP094, Snottle becomes the prime suspect in the murders of Kyubi and Venoct, caused by them picking their noses. After a while, however, it is revealed Snottle saved both of the handsome Yo-kai from Cuttencheez's gas attack by having them putting their fingers on their noses.
In EP119, Snottle, Kyubi and Venoct team up and compete in the F-1 Yo-kai race. Near the end of the race, their are the second-to-last team to be eliminated.
In EP120, Snottle's background is revealed. He was once one of Nate's snots which he used to pick as a small child, at which the once snot tried to avoid. After finally being evicted from Nate's nose, the snot eventually travelled around the world and finally returned to Nate's house several years after. The snot stick to one of the walls of Nate's room, prompting the boy to have Whisper clean it with a vacuum cleaner. After spinning due to the kinetic force of the device, the snot was expelled from the vacuum with an unusual glow and seconds later, it become Snottle. It then turns out that Snottle is just one of several Snottle that came to exist due to the numerous snots Nate used to pick out as a child.
Snottle appears as the end of M02, as Nate was inspirited by Snottle; his fingers stuck up his nose. Nate summons Jibanyan, but was furious as Jibanyan was interrupted from his Hawaii vacation in the Yo-kai World, and retaliates at Nate. The clip ends with Snottle saying "Hoji-hoji!", as the end credits begin to roll.
