They are depicted as anthropomorphic cat-like creatures with a metallic appearance, often adorned with various accessories such as spikes, chains, and leather. Their existence is primarily tied to the band Dethklok, serving as their fans, servants, and sometimes, their unwitting victims.

Metallikatons exhibit a strong devotion to Dethklok, displaying extreme enthusiasm for their music and actions. They are often shown participating in mosh pits, screaming lyrics, and performing acts of devotion. Despite their fanatical loyalty, they are frequently subjected to the band members' carelessness and often suffer gruesome fates, which are depicted in a darkly comedic manner.

Their physical attributes include sharp claws, pointed ears, and a general feline physique, but with a distinctly metallic sheen and rigidity. Their vocalizations are typically portrayed as high-pitched screeches and meows, often amplified by distortion. The lore surrounding metallikatons suggests they are a species specifically bred or mutated to serve the needs of the extreme metal band. Their origins are not fully explained, adding to the mysterious and absurd nature of their existence within the show's universe. They represent an exaggerated caricature of devoted metal fans, amplifying the show's themes of extreme fandom and the destructive nature of fame.
