Gizzbolf appears to his followers as a disheveled, wizened Gnome, dressed in voluminous robes and a wide-brimmed straw hat and carrying a gnarled stick of wood in one hand with a brown or, in extremely rare (and portentious) cases, white rabbit under his other arm. The colors of his robes are said to shift based on the season, switching through vibrant greens in spring, bright whites and sunny yellows in the summer, dull shades of orange and red in the fall, and sullen greys and browns in winter. He is frequently seen standing in either in the middle or along the side of roads, using his stick, drawing his latest plans and formulations in the dirt and dust. Dust devils are said to be signs that Gizzbolf is planning something amazing and while children who chase these whirlwinds are scolded for interfering with his plans, a dust devil that forms after you pass by is considered the ultimate harbinger of good fortune. During these "drawing sessions", it is said that tendrils of electricity will climb and writhe up his branch and even part-way up his arm, causing his frazzled hair to stand on end. Lightning strikes are said to be a sure sign that Gizzbolf has just had a breakthrough.

Gizzbolf is also responsible for organizing and executing the shifting of the seasons and his devotees shower his altars with gifts, beseeching him for a longer spring or shorter winter. Truly exceptional springs and summers are known as "The Gizzy Days" and during harsh winters, it's not uncommon for Gnomes to complain about things being "All 'Bolfed up."
