Burrowing Horror

This mole-like creature is the size of a black bear, with a thick, but still feline in appearance body as heavy as a full-grown orc. Nubs on the end of small tentacles line the entire underbelly, neck, tips of the ears and a mouth populated with spade-like incisors and wolf-like canines. The Horror's nubs act as taste buds, with which it samples the air around it. This coupled with the beasts' double set of ears allows it to sense it's environment almost as if it had eyes.

Sense Cave-Ins. Burrowing Horrors, much like their Dogmole cousins, have a remarkable ability to detect imminent cave-ins and  other burrowing creatures, making them an unnerving adversary in the depths. Burrowing Horrors are mostly undocumented as they inhabit the lowest reaches of the explored underdark, nearly 30 miles down.

Opportunists and Scavengers. From what has been recorded of these creatures in their natural environment, Burrowing Horrors are Opportunistic hunters, taking advantage of wandering Rothe calves and the occasional injured adventurer. They have also been observed to scavenge remains of Displacer Beasts’ prey and any other food scraps including bread, mushrooms and berries. Omnivorous by necessity and not by nature it is not uncommon to find malnourished and desperate Burrowing Horrors, while one Horror may be reluctant to attack a humanoid, the very opposite could be true for another.
