| - In its natural dimension, Death was invisible among the dark void, but its presence could still be felt and heard by the dead there with it. When it entered the universe, Death had the physical form of a human skeleton shrouded in dark grey vapour. Death was capable of communicating with a low, hoarse, whispery voice both in English and in another language, although it was only ever known to say one thing in either language - "Melenkurion abatha duroc minas mill khabaal!"/"I shall walk the Earth, and my hunger will know no bounds!"

| - In its natural dimension, Death was invisible among the dark void, but its presence could still be felt and heard by the dead there with it. When it entered the universe, Death had the physical form of a human skeleton shrouded in dark grey vapour. Death was capable of communicating with a low, hoarse, whispery voice both in English and in another language, although it was only ever known to say one thing in either language - "Melenkurion abatha duroc minas mill khabaal!"/"I shall walk the Earth, and my hunger will know no bounds!" The only known method through which Death could enter the universe was if someone were resurrected using the left-handed resurrection gauntlet - after the gauntlet permanently brought the person back in an undead state, Death would feed the person energy to sustain it, while also using the person as a gateway from the afterlife into N-Space. Death would occasionally possess the person, and would gradually change their cell structure. Once the person's cell structure was 100% transformed, Death would fully cross through them into the universe. In the universe, Death would be capable of instantaneously killing living beings by touch or by coming within very close proximity, draining their life and reducing their bodies to shriveled husks. Though it could apparently kill any living being this way, Death preferred and was drawn to the dying and near-dead. However, Death could only temporarily kill Jack Harkness due to the latter's immortality, and the undead beings resurrected by the gauntlet were completely immune to Death's abilities. When Death entered N-Space via the resurrection gauntlet, it had to kill thirteen sentient beings in order to enter the universe permanently; otherwise, after a length of time, it would vanish back into the darkness in a burst of energy.
