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 monsters. 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.
