The Morlocks

The second of the two divergent species of man are known as the Morlocks. Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks evolved in subterranean conditions, and because of this, are drastically different physically than the Eloi.  As one would expect based on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the Morlock's display adaptations to better suit them for their Underground abode. The Morlocks represent the working class of Wells' time.

Physical Descriptions of the Morlocks:

“A  pair  of  eyes,  luminous  by  reflection  against  the  daylight  without,  was  watching me out of the darkness” (56)

“My  impression  of  it  is,  of  course,  imperfect;  but  I  know it was a dull white, and had strange large greyish-red eyes; also that there was flaxen hair on its head and down its  back…It was so like a human spider!” (57)

"Plainly, this second species of man was subterranean." (59)

“They  were  just  the  half-bleached  colour of the worms and things one sees preserved in spirit in a zoological museum. And they were filthily cold to the touch.” (63)

"unpleasant creatures from below, these whitened Lemurs, this new vermin that had replaced the old" (64)

"their eyes were abnormally large and sensitive" (66)

"The Morlocks at any rate were carnivorous!" (67)

“You  can  scarce  imagine  how  nauseatingly  inhuman  they  looked—those  pale,  chinless  faces  and  great,  lidless,  pinkish-grey  eyes!—as  they  stared  in  their  blindness  and  bewilderment.” (69)

"dexterous climbers" (73)
