Piercers drop from the ceiling, taking your character by surprise. If you are wearing a hard helmet, you are somewhat protected. In order of toughness, there are rock piercers, iron piercers, and glass piercers.

Encyclopedia entry

Ye Piercer doth look like unto a stalactyte, and hangeth
from the roofs of caves and caverns.  Unto the height of a
man, and thicker than a man's thigh do they grow, and in
groups do they hang.  If a creature doth pass beneath them,
they will by its heat and noise perceive it, and fall upon
it to kill and devour it, though in any other way they move
but exceeding slow.
