Homebrew Grimlock Species Details
A sudden thought came to me. Could this thing have vanished down the shaft? I lit a torch and saw an ashen creature, whose eyeless face regarded me steadfastly as it clambered down the wall. There was the bleached look common in many animals that live in the Underdark—the cave fisher, for instance. It made me shudder. The old instinctive dread of wild beasts came upon me, but I clenched my hands and steadfastly returned its strange gaze.
