What do they want? Why are are they chasing me??! What are they saying!!??
I don't really want to kill them. Partly because they turn me into Zee Paste when I try, but also because they seem to be trying to communicate. On the other hand, maybe they're trying suck my brain out through my eye sockets in order to transform me into a mindless minion of some sort.
Misunderstood friendly sentients or Extra-dimensional Lords of Destruction?

I'm fairly sure they're not, like, Cthulhu-level reality-destroying eldritch abominations. At least not individually, they certainly seem pretty powerful collectively when you meet up with them in one of the Destinies in Fallen London. (Still probably not powerful enough to damage reality itself, but certainly a credible threat to the Bazaar.) You can also meet some less murderous relatives of theirs in the fatelocked Flute Street storyline.
Also they don't seem to like humans much. I've got no idea why, I just inferred that from the fact that they attack you and Correspondence you to death on sight.
I'm actually more inclined towards the 'aliens' view than the 'remnants of the old cities' view, myself.

Alien probes, that's what I think. Aliens!
I'll admit, though, I like Zee-Bat's explanation a lot more.

[spoiler]More like horrors from below Creation and the remnants of the old cities and the Bazaars victims according to Fallen London lore.[/spoiler]

It's rather like eating a trout, if the trout had tried to kill you a few hours ago. Take that ersatz trout.
I didn't do it, wouldn't know how to do it, and I was in Paris at the time it happened Officer.

They're pretty definitely aliens, and probably were around before the bazaar got here. (or at least arrived at around the same time? That part I'm less sure of)
