How do you visualise the Cho-ja?

Ive always imagined them as massive ants with a human like head. And really sharp arms. Anyone have links to pictures of them or maybe some fan art?

Another question, in magician when pug and tomas and everyone was travelling through the dwarven mines with the lead dwarf (forgot his name), and they were attacked by cho-ja, werent those cho-ja carrying wapons? Or is my memory wrong. Ive never read cho-ja using weapons after that. Im probly wrong though..

Thanks :D

I always visualized them as ant/wasp-like humaniods.

NOTE: if you read the Empires Trilogy, specifically the third book (i think) you get a good bit of information on this subject. It's been many years, but I'm fairly sure this is correct.

I always see them looking like the locust critters in the original Sega Phantasy Star game but with more human like appendages. Cho-ja ride and the locust critters had scythe like blade ends on their arms that wouldn’t work so well on a beast meant for riding.

For some reason every time I read of cho-ja, the shadows from b5 come to my mind.

I always visualized them as centaur-like ants, something like the bacites from the original Summoner game.
