 "Homalodotherium" was about in body length, with a weight up to , and had long forelimbs with claws instead of hooves otherwise seen in related taxa.It walked on the soles of its hind feet and the toes of its front feet, which would have made the animal higher at the shoulder than at the hips when it walked on all fours.It was probably at least partially bipedal, being able to pull down tree branches with its arms while rearing up on its hind legs.
