A monitor's body consists of a roughly spherical shape that is concave on three sides, with an illuminated photoreceptor located on the front of the orb. A monitor's silvery metal covering is reminiscent of other [[Forerunner]] constructs, though their spherical shapes stand in contrast to the polygonal, angular shapes commonly seen in other Forerunner creations.
