Haze Men

Mark II Nanyte Cluster Perimeter Controls, or Haze Men, are semi-magical creatures used as security staff by Chopstick Eyes. They are not sapient, but reasonably intelligent. When calm, they display curiousity in their surroundings, though they are not especially social, and remain on-task with great stubbornness.
Built for combat, Haze Men are incredibly strong and fast. However, their stamina is low and they must rest after only a few seconds of maximum exertion.
Their curious, dust-like constitution lacks a circulatory system and can close wounds swiftly. As such they are quite resistant to stabbing or cutting blows. They are more vulnerable to hard impacts, due to the rigidity of their bodies, and vibration-based attacks that weaken the bonds between their nanytes. Haze Men can lend or give nanytes to other Haze Men, but cannot regenerate mass once it has been lost.
Occasionally, Haze Men will 'coil' into their surroundings, dissolving into their constituents (dust and dark magic) to hide in crevices, carpets, sand, and shadows. Once coiled, they can reform and burst into action quickly, or move very slowly. Coiling takes a minute or two.
Haze Men require occasional input carbon-based nutrition in order to function, as well as occasional supplements of silicon and iron. When undernourished, they can go dormant for long stretches of time, though not forever.
