Homebrew Xorn Species Details
Bizarre creatures native to the Elemental Plane of
Earth, xorn sniff out gemstones and precious metals,
then tunnel through earth and rock to consume
those treasures. On the Material Plane, xorn must
range far and wide through the Underdark to sustain
themselves, becoming aggressive toward miners and
treasure hunters when the valuable minerals of their
diet are scarce.
A xorn's unnatural origins are suggested by its
unusually heavy body and the large, powerful mouth
sitting atop its head. Its three long arms are each tipped
with sharp talons, and its three large, stone-lidded eyes
see in all directions.
Elemental Travelers. Possessed of the power of
elemental earth, a xorn glides through stone and dirt as
easily as a fish swims through water. It doesn't displace
earth or stone when it moves, but merges with and flows
through it, leaving no tunnel, hole, or hint of its passage.
XORN'
Xorn prefer not to leave their home plane, where they
easily eat their fill of gemstones and precious metals.
When a xorn winds up on the Material Plane, whether
by accident or from curiosity, it seeks sustenance
and a way home.
Beggars and Thieves. Xorn scour the depths of the
earth for precious metal and stones. Because they
are unable to consume organic material, they ignore
most other creatures. However, a xorn's ability to sniff
out metals and stones often draws its attention to
adventurers carrying coins and gems. Because a xorn
isn't evil, it pleads or bargains in the hope of convincing
owners to give up their treasure, offering up information
it has learned from its travels in exchange. A xorn
whose requests are ignored might resort to threats and
bullying. If starving or angered, it resorts to force.
