Originally, Palethorn was conceptualised as a green character with a brown jacket. His design was later altered so that his skin was yellow instead of green. His hair was also made taller. Eventually, his final design emerged with flat hair, red skin, and a damaged eye. | Originally, Palethorn was conceptualised as a green character with a brown jacket, a goatee and flat hair.
