They float about five feet off the floor, eyes covered in the same stone-like substance that covered most of their exposed skin, backs covered in bulbous helium-filled sacks and vestigial limbs dragging along the floor. They use those to sense vibrations along the ground and hunt for their prey. As we found out the hard way, even when standing perfectly still the human body moves just enough for them to find us.
Lying down and holding your breath works of they're far enough away. Hiding by a waterfall or source of intense natural movement works best - when a 5.5 scale earthquake struck us last month we could run right in front of them and they didn't even notice!
For the most part we deal with them by setting up movement traps that mimic rivers and waterfall, creating safe pathways where we're less likely to be attacked. It's not foolproof, not by a long shot, but until we find a way to poison them or pierce their thick skin we can't do too much else.
