Crystalids

Also known as "Crystalid Destroyers", they are a rather odd and peculiar group of entities. Their forms and size may vary, but most commonly they can be described as insect-like creatures made out of pure crystals size can vary between "living crystal dust" and a "bastion on legs". They don't belong to the surface world nor in the known underground worlds. Some theorise they came from the heart of the world. The means of how they got out of there varies Some came with earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, some crawled out of deep caverns reaching down to their habitat and some just dug themselves out. 
The first instance is the most common. Due to that, they occur in higher numbers on active volcanic lands or near mountains. Wherever they go they are capable of creating mayhem, most commonly by simply walking through their obstacles, either crushing or slicing anything to a bloody mess. Fighting against them is also hard but not impossible. Because of their composition they are too sturdy to damage, but they can have a variety of offensive weaponry. Starting with the most common, they possess either sharp or blunt potrusions and growths. Rarer variants can have more extreme ones, like an outproportioned "mouth" full of insanely sharp "teeth" or just unleashing such a strong scream that even their own bodies cannot tolerate. They are also capable of shattering themselves into smaller entities, to then fuse together again or just using parts of their bodies as projectiles. 
In some extreme cases they can morph their forms to suit their needs and while many of them formed wing like structures the capability of flight is only a theorised ability some of them posess. Each of them is a one of a kind, meaning that they are unpredictable, but on the other hand they are worth a lot. Jewellers all over the world only wish to obtain even a small bodypart. Thanks to their unique composition and attributes they are highly coveted materials.
