I like this part, but I have yet to work it into a MOC. I need to get some more solid colors.
I swear we just saw this thing...yep, sure did!

@TeriXeri, you called it! https://brickset.com/article/88794comment534452
Yay, more deja-huw!
I really need to get some of these in solid green or maybe tan so I can make a really big cactus.
Brings back pyramidical memories...
When it's a brick, it's a quadruple convex. When it's a tile (plate?), it's a pyramid ridge. How did the people of antiquity keep them straight when building their ziggurats, temples and mausolea?
The budget version of 21058.
I could not tell it was a pyramid from the image without squinting and turning the screen a few degrees...
Surely the most painful Lego part to step on...

The deja-huw is strong with this one
One of the many great parts that was introduced in the Nexo Knights line. That theme is/was really under appreciated in my opinion.
Again proof that Lego can do complete pyramids.
I'm inclined to agree with @peterlmorris I've yet to use this part for anything in a MOC. It seems like it ought to be more multi-purpose than I've yet found it to be in practice.

According to those "in the know" it's not so bad by itself (since it's so small) but I still believe the pain potential increases exponentially with the height above surface, like if it sits on top on a 1x1 brick.
I suspect you could make some pretty nasty "punji sticks" by first covering a large plate with 2x4's, so that the ends of each meets the middle long side of another and you get little 1x1 gaps between them. Then put parts like 1x1x3 and 1x1x5 in about 1/5 of these holes, and top each with a pyramid. For maximum realism, balance a https://brickset.com/parts/design-53119 on top of each stick.
If we didn't have Nexo Nights, we wouldn't have this piece.
Hey, there's at least ONE good thing.
Pretty runty for a Wonder of the World.
