Coughkoff resembles a light brown chestnut with an opened jagged section on the front, revealing a single, light blue eye. Coughkoff is also really prickly.
Coughkoff makes the inspirited person catch a cold by poking its spikes into the person's throat (in the English dub, this was rephrased to sound more general - with the throat not being specified). In the manga he throws germs that are in a basket he carries around.
According to Whisper, Coughkoff gives you a hacking cough that sounds like a cold but is not a real infection. However the Japanese version, Whisper says that Coughkoff gives you a real cold.
