His ghost still has the cup-like head and gloves, but his appearance is now a ghostly blue. Upon taking damage, Cuphead will separate at the waist, with his straw breaking 20% of the way up from the bottom to the top, although both Cuphead and his straw will pull themselves back together. As an anthropomorphic cup, he is a light gray cup and his is made out of either ceramic or porcelain. To emulate the way characters were drawn in the game’s time period, his coloring is inconsistent he is sometimes depicted wearing red or yellow boots, and/or yellow gloves instead. He is mostly seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, red shorts and brown shoes. He always has a determined expression in the face of danger.
His face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small red nose. As his name suggests, Cuphead's head is a wide cup with milk inside, topped with a red and white striped straw.
