[[Image:Mon-activated-vessel-con.jpg|thumb|left|150px250px|[[Activated Vessel]] concept art, showing "[[Teeth of Diablo]]".]][[Image:Blood_guard.jpg|thumb|150px|Artwork showing [[Triune Leader Blood Guard]] with "[[Teeth of Diablo]]" studded hammer. Remarkably similar to [[Berserker]]s.]]These metal spikes are seen in two pieces of artwork released by Blizzard, and mentioned in the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0042|42nd entry of Abd al-Hazir's writings]].
The only reference in literature to spikes that may refer to the Teeth of Diablo can be found in the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir]], more specifically the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0042|42nd entry]] regarding [[Dark Cultist]]s. While reading the entry you get a feeling that the entry and the illustration of a [[Dark Vessel]] and an [[Activated Vessel]]s are linked. In the entry they talk about spikes being driven into some complacent victim's back, which is clearly the case in the illustration.
::''The chanting stilled as the leader, face shadowed by a heavily gilded hood, stepped forward and began to intone a ritual in some indecipherable tongue. A large, thickly muscled and leather-masked cultist draped a black, eyeless hood over the victim's head before pulling a foot-long spike from his sash. My mind searched for any possible use for this cursed nail when I noticed the immense stygian hammer grasped in his other hand. With one swift motion, he raised it above his head and drove the spike into the supplicant's back with fierce intensity. I almost screamed... but the victim made no sound. ''
