{{section stub|This could do with a physical description of the [[Quill Goddess]] from ''The Metaphysical Engine'', as she is all we have to go by as to how the Quill truly look.}} | |||
The one Quill known to have visited Earth, [[Andrea Quill|Miss Quill]], was outwardly indistinguishable from humans, ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'') but this was only because her true form was disguised. She claimed her true appearance could make [[human]]s scream.

They had a more alien appearance originally, although it was not clear whether one form shown was their true form, or simply one imagined by [[April MacLean]] when she learned of Miss Quill's origin. In that form, the Quill, appropriately for their name, sported long quills or spines on their bodies, which sprouted from at least their heads and shoulders. Their skin was primarily reddish brown, with black, zigzagging stripes, and pale white on the lower part of the face.

In an early stage of Quill development, Quill would shed their quills while still in the [[Quill nest]]. They would also consume their mothers, though Miss Quill noted that by her time this was medically unnecessary, and no more than a followed tradition.
