Description

Umber hulks are subterranean predators. Their iron-like claws enable them to burrow through solid stone at one meter per turn and through loam at fully four times that rate. Their prey includes young purple worms, anhkheg, and similar critters. However, their favorite prey of umber hulks are humans. They attack with claws and powerful mandibles. Worse still, any intelligent creature which views the umber hulk's four eyes squarely (Average: Intelligence to avoid making eye contact) must make a Difficult: Willpower check or be confused* for 1-20 turns. These creatures have their own language.

Description: Umber hulks are black, shading to yellowish gray on the front. Their head is gray on top, and the mandibles are ivory colored. Because of their dark color they can easily be mistaken for some humanoid creature at 12 or more meters distance.
