Sus poblaciones septentrionales y orientales son migratorias, pero las que viven en las zonas más cálidas son sedentarias. Los adultos miden entre 23 y 28 cm de largo, y como otros rállidos tienen el cuerpo aplanado lateralmente para pasar más fácilmente entre los cañaverales donde viven. El plumaje de sus partes superiores es de tonos pardos con veteado oscuro, y sus partes inferiores son principalmente de color gris azulado, con listado blanco y negro en los flancos y bajo vientre. Tienen un pico largo y rojizo, largos dedos y la cola corta. Los inmaduros tienen las partes inferiores anteadas y los polluelos son negros. Anteriormente se clasificaba al rascón asiático (R. indicus) como una subespecie de rascón común pero ahora se consideran especies separadas.
El rascón europeo vive en humedales con vegetación palustre alta y densa, donde se alimenta principalmente de pequeños animales. Son aves territoriales incluso fuera de la época de cría.
