Beetle Blades are the property of WICKED. They are programmed to spy on the Gladers. The Gladers also believe the Beetle Blades alert the Grievers where they are. They are silver with a cylindrical body about 3 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length. They have 12 jointed legs running the length of their body. A bright, blinding red light is emitted through the beetle's eye. WICKED is "smeared across the torso; as if they had been written in blood." The Gladers mentioned to never touch them. They were common in the maze but also appeared in the WICKED headquarters.
