Hardware/Standard

Hardware are gray, knight-like entities with two horns, one on each side of their head.

They also have an eye-hole slit and small air-holes on their face. They are also one of the few characters to lack an outline, and this is presumably due to Hardware not being made out of digital data.

Additionally, Hardware are the base variant of the Hardware species.

Lore
In lore, Hardware are solid armor that is possessed by blue fire-like creatures called Hardware Wisps. The armor that Hardware are made from is composed of chunks of metal that come from the computer terrain. This terrain metal is the literal hardware of the computer, and once a Wisp stops possessing its armor, the metal chunks go back to their original position within the computer.
