The Silent Ones

The Silent Ones
The Silent Ones are the main antagonists of Fe. Throughout the game, they hunt down and capture creatures. Not much is known about them, with the few details being from Hieroglyphics.

Description
The armor-like shells of The Silent Ones are dark black. They have long, thin limbs with claws. They have a single, bright eye used for trapping creatures, water, and plants. Notably, the one found near the end of the game that assists Fe in the finale has sparks coming from them and a bright scar down their eye.

Outside the shell, The Silent Ones are tall beige fox-like creatures that can be assumed to be the adult version of the Fe creatures.

Abilities
The Silent Ones are able to use their arms and legs to crawl. They use their eye to shoot creatures with rocks or light to trap them. They can be defeated by the Deer and bear-like creatures, officially named Pinecone by the community.

The Silent Ones, like the other hostile creatures, are unable to see Fe if it is hiding in the black white-tipped grass.

Story
Near the end of the game, The Silent Ones are heading towards an island. They seem to be trying to raise a rock up to the upper half. Fe, along with another one of The Silent Ones, noteably with a crack in its helmet, climb up through the big tower. Later on, the ground collapses, and Fe is unable to reach the forest keeper. The Silent One that has been helping Fe takes off its helmet, revealing itself to be what appears to be an adult variation of the creature Fe is.

Fe, stuck, teaches The Silent One how to sing Fe's language, and The Silent One is able to sing to the Forest Keeper. The rock connects to the other part of it. The Silent Ones are seen flying upwards, and the ground collapses below Fe. At the very end, a few also take their helmets off and Fe can use one of the Seeing Stones. Another is found in the final area after riding the bird from the final island back to a marsh-like area where the Deer from the start of the game is found again, possibly the one who Fe teaches to sing Fe.
