The Saruthi of the 41st millennium are grotesque beings. Humans encountering them for the first time are often deeply horrified by their powerful, yet clearly unnatural forms. The average Saruthi, if there is such a thing, is approximately two meters tall and twice as heavy as a male human. Their bodies are vaguely crustacean or arachnoid in appearance, with a flat, gray torso, a thick, boneless neck, and a rather oblate, eyeless head. Their five limbs are arranged around their bodies in an asymmetrical, seemingly random manner. They use human-like digits at the ends of these limbs to clutch silver walking stilts, which enhances their height even further. Even the manner in which the Saruthi walk is disturbing, because their limbs do not ambulate in any particular sequence.

When communicating with humans the Saruthi interlace their fingers to form an extremely unnerving representation of a human face, just like the creatures in every Guillermo Del Toro movie. They also possess an inherent ability to discharge powerful energy bolts. Fortunately, the Saruthi are still living creatures and are thus vulnerable to physical damage. They bleed a grey fluid when wounded.

The Saruthi lack any sense of sight or hearing. Instead they perceive the world through extremely developed senses of touch, smell and taste. Their exposure to the Necroteuch allows them to perceive and work with four-dimensional spaces called "tetrascapes". Being a four-dimensional construct a tetrascape possesses an unnatural and disorienting lack of symmetry that is very unpleasant for humans to experience. Since the Saruthi lack starships the tetrascapes serve as their manner of travelling between worlds, much like the [[Webway]], although how they accomplish this feat is not understood.

The Saruthi were observed utilizing a lesser slave-race that vaguely resembled the Saruthi themselves. Whether these were the debased descendants of the losers in their civil war or were a different species entirely is not known.
