“The Sandmites are small, inverted, metal tetrahedra approximately 3inches tall. An insectoid leg springs from the dark metal of the body on each face (excepting the top face) ending in a two-pronged foot. They never roam alone, the swarm is always nearby, sometimes below the sand in a vast network of glassed and fulgurite tunnels. When forced to defend themselves they may deliver a small electric shock, but often flee from danger. There are a number of exceptions to this, but the motivation (or programming as some believe) is largely unknown and thus the behavior of the Mites is somewhat inherently unpredictable. What is least understood and perhaps most concerning is what triggers the swarm to form colonial super-organism capable of immense destructive potential.”
