Pyramids appear to vary widely in size, but the ones most commonly seen are nearly twice the size of a [[Fallen]] [[Ketch]]. They all share a simple tetrahedral shape, broken up by lines of yellow-orange lights. They are accompanied by fleets of smaller craft known as [[Pyramid Scale|Pyramid Scales]], which are about the size of a jumpship.

It is unclear to what degree the Pyramids are vehicles or fully autonomous machines analogous to the [[Traveler]]. Based on [[The Guardian|Guardian]]'s exploration of the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar]], [[Pyramid (Europa)|Europan]] and [[Sunken Pyramid|Sunken Pyramids]], the Pyramids have interior spaces designed for roughly human-scale inhabitants; the Europan pyramid is also filled with numerous artifacts pointing to its habitation, including what appear to be workstations at which partially-completed statues of colored stone sit unfinished. These statues vaguely resemble humanoid or equine figures, but it is unclear what, if anything, they actually represent. Both pyramids also contain what appear to be urns of various shapes and sizes, either arrayed in open spaces or stored in racks set into walls. Thus far, only one "native" Pyramid inhabitant has been encountered: [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]], who commanded the [[Sunken Pyramid]] in [[Savathûn's Throne World]]. [[The Witness]] has also been shown aboard a Pyramid, presumably the commanding Pyramid of the entire fleet. It is unknown at this point whether all other Pyramids are home to a single Disciple, or whether some contain armies or are empty of life entirely.
It is unclear to what degree the Pyramids are merely spacecraft or fully autonomous machine entities analogous to the [[Traveler]]. During ''Season of Arrivals'', the Ghost states that the Pyramid on Io is actually a paracausal being, like the Traveler. However, they also appear to be used as vehicles by the Witness and its Disciples, with the Witness having commanded the Black Fleet from the Pyramid known as [[Essence]], and [[Rhulk]] and [[Nezarec]] having commanded the Sunken and Lunar Pyramids, respectively. It is unknown at this point whether all other Pyramids are home to a single Disciple, or whether some contain armies or are empty of life entirely.
 
All Pyramids thus far explored have interior spaces designed for roughly human-scale inhabitants, and the Europan pyramid is also filled with numerous artifacts pointing to its habitation, including what appear to be workstations at which partially-completed statues of colored stone sit unfinished. These statues vaguely resemble humanoid or equine figures, but it is unclear what, if anything, they actually represent. The Pyramids' interior spaces also contain what appear to be urns of various shapes and sizes, either arrayed in open spaces or stored in racks set into walls.  


On the Season of Arrivals, the Ghost states the Pyramid is actually a paracausal being, like the Traveler. This might suggest that the Pyramids, actually, are living beings on their own, like the Traveler, but submitting to the Witness's will.
