Queequeg is about six feet tall, with light brown sun-stained skin and a mostly-bald head except for a small pony-tail in the middle. His skin is riddled with detailed tattoos, as part of the culture he grew up with on his native island of Kokovoko. Although Ishmael considers him a savage, Queequeg tries to do daily activities the civilized way, despite the fact that he is a cannibal. He almost always carries his iron whaling harpoon with him, and even sleeps with it! He has a sturdy look and a strong build, as he was trained to be a warrior - he is the son of the king of his tribe on Kokovoko.
