Externally, Gallifreyans were usually identical to humans, though they tended to have a mostly European/Caucasian appearance. Hair and eye colour were of any colour found among humans. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Dodo]]'') Teeth were indistinguishable from human teeth. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gunfighters]]'', ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') However, while [[Romana I]] was regenerating into [[Romana II]], she took on various appearances varying in height and build, and even one with [[blue]] [[skin]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'') The [[Ninth Doctor]] referred to the regeneration process as "dodgy", and indicated that it was possible to regenerate without a [[head]].

One visible difference between humans and Time Lords was the [[eye]]. While the human eye was just a dish of light-sensitive cells, leaving the [[brain]] to do all of the processing, the Time Lord retina was capable of thinking on its own. As a result, on [[Gallifrey]], the retina replaced fingers as the main method of communicating with machines. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Seeing I (novel)|Seeing I]]'') The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s eyes could change color between [[green]], [[blue]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'') and [[grey]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)|Mad Dogs and Englishmen]]'') [[Allisheer St Marx]], the [[hybrid|half]]-[[human]] daughter of [[Handramit]], had mirror-flecked eyes; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Of the City of the Saved...
