Quite noice indeed. I like the thought of having a xorn underground informant, or something of the sort

It's a literal Mole
You know you have a wonderful DM when he brings this guy out in a first level encounter
This is what I'm actually going to do for my 1st level players. There's 6 of them so they'll be fine haha.
How many of them died?
Seems pretty solid monster stat. Hehe see what I did there?
boy is that one ugly baby
Here's to hoping my five level four party members can take this on for their first encounter.
Oof
Love to conjure him when I’m in a pinch, but once I lose concentration I’m terrified haha.
I had this encounter where my players were facing off against a dozen of these, and our druid summoned a bunch of earth elementals, except they were made out of precious stones, and the xorns and elementals just fought each other while my party ran away. The druid got inspiration because the idea was so novel and hilarious.
I'm gonna give it a state boost. 100 hp, regeneration under ground and a grapple for my 5 lvl ten players. Think that's enough? Or send in a second one of the similar CR for the challenge? Bare in mind this is the 1 or 2 encounter of 3 or four before a long rest.
I think I’ll make a home brew race of this, but way less powerful so that it is equal to the others.
Search for ‘Half Xorn’ in home brew races
does anyone think this looks like a mix of a cyclops and a sarlac?
"and its three large, stone-lidded eyes see in all directions." Where three eyes? i can see in this image only one!
By the way I'm a titan with an intelligence value of 15 and my alignment neutral evil so please don't annoy me.
1 eye between each of its arms
I love how there's another person in these comments talking about putting his level one players up against one of these
