Raxacoricofallapatorians were large, bulky [[humanoid]]s. They had large eyes and powerful arms with long claws. They had thick, lumpy skin, ranging in colour from a yellowish green, ([[DW]]: ''[[Aliens of London]]''/''[[World War Three]]'') a paler, grey-green ([[NSA]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside]]'') a much darker shade of green, ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Nightmare Man]]'') or a brownish orange ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Gift (TV story)|The Gift]]''). | Raxacoricofallapatorians were large, bulky [[humanoid]]s.

([[DW]]: ''[[Boom Town]]'') By the age of twelve, Raxacoricofallapatorians were still considered children and were shorter than a [[human]] of equivalent age. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen]]'') As Raxacoricofallapatorians aged, they lost moisture from their tissue, calcifying and effectively turning into stone.

Despite their large bulk, they were also capable of surprising speeds and could easily overpower a human. Raxacoricofallapatorians could hunt by scent and could identify an individual's species, age, sex, emotional state and location by it. This sense of smell was officially the best in the [[Mutter's Spiral|Galaxy]]. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen]]'') They could also sense the pain of closely related individuals from far away.
