%% Last Updated: - [[2021-05-01]] %% They look like a mass of oily fur and flesh. They are grey, hunchbacked humanoids. Black manes, grinning faces. They look animal-like, not intelligence. They attack in numbers and communicate in ghastly howls and chattering noises (called _gibbers_). They are darkness-loving creatures. They are found in the underdark. They are evil and cruel and are always looking for something to kill. They are disorganized and attack randomly. They burrow into the soil during daylight. They normally awaken at night, but in the Chasm, it's always night. They emerge in unison and devour anything they can take down. They fight to the death. They're like evil monkeys. Their only method of attack is to pile up on enemies and bring them down. They originated in the realm beyond sanity and logic, called the Far Realm, a long time ago. ## Defenses | Defense | Value | | --------------------- | ----- | | [[Reflex Defense]] | 19 | | [[Fortitude Defense]] | | | [[Will Defense]] | 15 | | [[Armor Class]] | 19 | They are vulnerable to area spells.
