Trophies can consist of skins or skulls with the spinal column still attached. They often wear masks, and their faces resemble large crustaceans. Their equipment consists of invisibility technology, as well an array of weapons, including powerful shoulder cannons. They also wear small but powerful bombs on their wrists in case of defeat.

They all have a great sense of honor and fight with one too. The never kill innocent or unarmed people. and they show great respect towards those who have defeated their own kind.
