Overall "Strange magic ... turned chain, iron-coated bone and iron sheets into killing devices."  They are described as "alien beetles" when Kel sees a group of them in the Chamber and as "giant metal insects" by a stormwing from its aerial view.  They are seven feet tall, but with their hunched over posture this means they're really huge.  Even so they are "quick" and "nimble". A 20ft by20ft net can entrap them. Head The devices have a "long, black, curved shape that served as a head" and a "sharp, alien face with its visor-lips".  The head plate is constructed of thick iron, hammered into shape.  Arrows that aren't a direct hit ricochet
