Dreaded Mole

A ten to 12 foot long huge carnivorous mole that hunts through the tunnels of the undercity and readily makes its own tunnels when desired. These voracious hunters have a taste for molemen, pygmies, and troglozaks preferring them to other prey. Their tough amazingky tough hide is a popular component for construction of magical leather armor.

Morlock

A devolved species of cannibalistic men generally of savage semi-simian appearance. Their eyes don’t glow but they do reflect light being the first and last thing some see of morlocks. Morlocks have an ancestral technological affinity and groups will often have stray techno-junk, every now and then a techno-relic or super-science weapon will be on hand. There are three main subraces of Morlocks and they war on each other with fervor: Shaggy White, Grey Glum, and Naked Pink. Some colonies may foster a common mutation but this puts them at odds with morlocks of their own subrace outside the colony.
