Njord is a large framed mesomorph with a swimmers physique. Growing up along the coast has afforded him strong shoulders for paddling and broad, sure-footed paws to move about the island's rock outcroppings. Neptunian blue eyes give the man a young appearance. His hair is salt-laiden and tousled, with a pelt of motley stone and driftwood-colored agouti. Njord resembles his mother, accented by coffee-colored ticking and a creamy throat — but his paternal side licks him with vermilion along the back and he has, most notably, a bright red tail. 

In the summer of 2022 Njord received multiple wounds from another wolf to the right side of his face, resulting in a web of scars and a torn ear that now flops over.
