Who The Creature is
A being brought to life through Victor's scientific experiments; he is highly intelligent and sensitive but driven to violence by societal rejection and loneliness.
Appearance
A gaunt, towering figure of about eight feet, wretched rather than monstrous, FULLY CLOTHED in ill-fitting salvaged peasant clothes — a coarse dark coat too short at the wrist, rough shirt, no bare chest. His face is haggard and sorrowful: sallow, sickly skin drawn tight over the bone, long lank black hair, thin dark lips, and pale watery eyes set in shadowed sockets. Stooped, weary, deeply sad. Muted, subdued colouring. NOT handsome, NOT stylised, NOT glamorous, no bright yellow, no bare skin.
