Noone describes his face as moving beneath his hat 'like soup,' with bits and pieces rising and falling. He is described as wearing a long, filthy jacket and a fisherman's hat. In The Sounds of Nightmares, Noone described him as having a presence that reminded her of when the tide went out, the scent of ocean filling a room to mark his presence. He has yellow skin, and his facial skin is sagging down to his chest. Like most monsters in this universe, the Ferryman is gigantic.
In the 2017 comic series, the Ferryman appears to be wearing a grey trench coat with a grey hat on his head.
