ArtistIn Frankenstein (1818), Mary Shelley describes the creature as an 8-foot-tall, hideous, yet sensitive being with translucent yellow skin that barely covers his muscles/arteries, lustrous black hair, pearly white teeth, and watery, dun-white eyes. He is intelligent, articulate, and emotional, acting out of loneliness and rejection. Wikipedia Wikipedia +4 Key details of the creature's description: Physical Appearance: Beyond the yellow skin and watery eyes, he has shrivelled lips and a black complexion. While parts were selected for beauty, they created a "horrid contrast". Creation Method: Assembled from scavenged cadaver parts. Abilities: Possesses superhuman speed and strength, capable of running like a stag and surviving in harsh, cold, mountainous environments. Personality: Initially benevolent and intelligent, he becomes murderous and vengeful only after being abandoned and rejected by humanity. Intellect: Highly articulate, learning to speak, read, and understand complex emotions (specifically through reading Paradise Lost), notes the Wikipedia Wikipedia site.
