Physically, the kandra resemble [[mistwraith]]s in their natural form. Unlike the mistwraiths, they are sentient, courtesy of two [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spikes implanted in them. While mistwraiths are simply gelatinous conglomerates of various creatures, kandra can actually absorb a body and take on all of its characteristics.
When impersonating a specific person, a kandra will use that person's bones and reshape their body to look exactly like that person's. When in [[kandra Homeland|the Homeland]], most kandra use a [[True Body]], which is a set of false bones that are crafted by a kandra artisan. Some True Body forms are quartz, and kandra show off their True Bodies by creating translucent skin that allows the stone to sparkle faintly in the light.{{book ref|mb3|7}} A True Body does not have to be human-shaped, but most are. The members of the '''First Generation''' do not wear True Bodies, as the kandra did not originally know how to make them. Instead, they wear their own bones from before they became kandra.{{book ref|mb3|68}}
Kandra store their cognitive system throughout their entire body, and can form an organ which functions as a brain to think.{{book ref|mb6|19}} It doesn't need to be inside the head, and can be placed at a safer location in the kandra's body.{{wob ref|4147}} Kandra flesh will retain its appearance when cut free of their bodies.{{book ref|mb6|6}} They give off a smell that other kandra can detect which communicates their gender.{{wob ref|11478}} The smell that they give off is decided by the kandra in question, as a result of their control over their physiology, this smell can be masculine, feminine, neutral, a mix, or something completely different.{{wob ref|11478}}▼
Kandra cannot naturally reproduce, but if they replicated human organs, it would be possible for them to have a child that is part kandra and human.{{wob ref|15859}}{{wob ref|9402}}{{wob ref|16304}}
