As a species, the Mikaeans are for the most part physically indistinguishable from their human neighbors, possessing the same external physical traits with few notable exceptions. The Mikaean body consists of a torso with two arms, two legs, and a head connected to the rest of the body by a neck. A Mikaean adult's body consists of about 100 trillion cells, not unlike that within a human, though a high proportion of their body consists of undifferentiated stem cells. Mikaean bodies are divided into a {{w|Nervous system|nervous}}, {{w|Cardiovascular system|cardiovascular}}, {{w|Circulatory system|circulatory}}, {{w|Digestive system|digestive}}, {{w|Endocrine system|endocrine}}, {{w|Immune system|immune}}, {{w|Integumentary system|integumentary}}, {{w|Lymphatic system|lymphatic}}, {{w|Musculosketetal system|musculoskeletal}}, {{w|Reproductive system|reproductive}}, {{w|Respiratory system|respiratory}}, and {{w|urinary system}}.

Physically-speaking, the generally ample and shapely build of a Mikaean female betrays their robust physical strength, of which they have in greater supply than the males of either species. They possess about 15–2020–30% more physical strength than a human male of similar age and weight, a trait believed to be an adaptation of their larger numbers and the need to fill to provider/protector role within the Mikaean species. Likewise, Mikaean males are justconsiderably asstronger strongthan astheir human malescounterparts, butthough given their scarcity and importance within the general population, they rely heavily upon theirMikaean female counterpartsfemales for additional protection, which they readily supply.

The average height for a Mikaean of both sexes is about 177.8 cm (5'10"), which has remained the norm within the species for the last four thousand years since their creation. Mikaeans do not suffer from shrinkage as they grow older, as they lack the same rate of senescence as recorded with humans. However, Mikaeans will generally not grow any taller than the norm of 177.8 cm, with anything greater than that deemed to be an abnormality within the individual. Regarding weight, as with height, Mikaeans as a species generally do not deviate from a well-defined norm set by their biology. Mikaean males will generally weight between 68.9-75.7 kg (152-167 lbs), while females within the species weight between 74.8-85.3 kg (165-188 lbs). Due to the uniquely rigid genetic and biological constraints within the species, the physical alterations expected within the majority of mammalian species due to the effects of diet and environment, are astonishingly absent throughout the entirety of the Mikaean population.
