They were partially made of a dark purple crystal that made them very powerful.At level 1 my PCs saw and ran from 1 that was a level 6 Solo Skimisher... they called him "The dark Musketeer" (long story there, not important) by level 3 they fought him once and saw a second one... but they got lucky and the environment let them escape at level 4 they killed the Dark musketeer and found 3 of these things and ran...at level 7 they fought the 3 they saw... but they were not level 6 solo's they were level 10 elites... they killed 2 and the third ran off.at level 11 they saw an army of 200 of these things come through a rift. They were scared. They did also recive a special blessing just about that time by the gods or both magic and death... (it allowed them to upgrade there weapons to +4 weapons) When the wave was coming toward the settlement they wanted to protect, they thought it was game over... but they went out there to buy time. The even made eachother  promise they would burn each others bodies so they could not come back as purple crystal zombies... I had them stated as level 16 minons... see the point is in game they were all the same basic creature, heck the 1 of the 3 that ran was with the hoard... but out of game the stats changed with the game...now, if I never told you stats, but you played in the game where 1 guy fought all 6 players, then 3 of them showed up, and you beat them bearly... then 200 showed up and you slaughtered them... would that ruin your image of the game or would you tell the brave story?</blockquote>
