Pit Things are bulky carnivores with four legs, webbed claws and feet (making them agile swimmers) and a strong resistance to the typical chemical and toxic hazards of industrial hives. Their possess four eyes arranged symmetrically in a vaguely canine skull, while their mouths are circular with razor-sharp teeth meant to rend and tear. They are nonsentient and seem singularly unintelligent. The Pit Thing uses its size and strength aggressively in combat, often charging into battle with furious rage. Those unfortunate enough to fight one must be as wary of its acidic drool as its rending claws.{{Fn|1}}
Some theories link the origin of the Pit Things to the Blight of Nova Castilia, a genetic plague created by the [[Logicians]] that spread through Hive Nova Castilia. According to rumors, some families vanished during the plague to be replaced pale, dangerous monsters.{{Fn|1}}
