This humanoid is slightly taller than human, but with skin the color and texture of the rock around it. It appears to have four arms, the upper ones are bulky with huge scythe-like blades that unfold from its body with a smaller set of lower arms with pudgy, two-fingered hands. Its face has only the semblance of eyes and a mouth, appearing like a piece of slate.
