Cybershades had bronze Cyber-heads. Like their Cyberman superiors, they had piping like handlebars connected to their heads, except they angled diagonally like the ears of an animal. (TV: The Next Doctor) The Cybershades had the brains of cats or dogs and were unable to speak or obey complex commands, but could vocalise electronic snarls and growls. (WC: Captain Jack's Monster Files: Cybermen) They seemed unable to run upright. They were only seen to run on all fours or bent over low.
