While they can be wounded by Earthly metals, they cannot be wounded by human-level strength or even human-made projectile weapons.

They live is tents that resemble domed yurts in densely wooded areas on their Realm. There are several structures through out their Realm, columns and large circular monuments, that seem to have some cultural significance.
