Appearance
The Chee are described in Book 10 by Marco as "made of steel and something white," with "mouths almost like muzzles, clumsy-looking legs, and stubby fingers." When Erek hits the side of a passing bus, Marco sees "something that seem to be made of patches of steel and milk-white plastic ( he is amazed that his friend was hit by a bus and walked away like it was nothing causing Marco to investigate further.) ." As a spider, Marco is able to see through Erek's hologram, and he describes the foot as "interlocking plates of steel and ivory," and the foot looks like a dog's paw. On the whole, Chee look like upright digitigrade robotic dogs, possibly resembling Greyhounds.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“To educate the wise man, the State exists; and with the appearance of the wise man, the State expires. The appearance of character makes the state unnecessary. The wise man is the State.”

“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
