In spite of these deformities, the expression of the face was not unpleasant or repulsive.

His hair was carefully parted and brushed, and his mouth and nose were not only perfect in shape but quite handsome.
Only the eyes betrayed Zog and made him terrible to all beholders.
They seemed like coals of glowing fire and sparkled so fiercely that no one ever cared to meet their gaze for more than an instant.
Perhaps the monster realized this, for he usually drooped his long lashes over his fiery eyes to shut out their glare.

Zog had two well-shaped legs which ended in the hoofs of beasts instead of feet, and these hoofs were shod with gold.

His body was a shapeless mass covered with richly embroidered raiment, over which a great robe of cloth of gold fell in many folds.

This robe was intended to hide the magician's body from view, but Trot noticed that the cloth moved constantly in little ripples, as if what lay underneath would not keep still.
The best features of which Zog could boast were his arms and hands, the latter being as well formed, as delicate and white as those of a well-bred woman.
