Groundling Grunt

Skulking Hybrid Servitors

Habitat Hill, Urban — Treasure Armaments

Groundlings are hairy, stinky bullies and insatiable carnivores. They use their claws not only to disembowel their victims but also to dig traps, tunnel beneath buildings, and excavate hiding spots from which to ambush prey.
Groundlings are created, not born. Most are magical mutations of fierce burrowing animals. Groundlings often serve as shock troops or assassins for their creators, though leaderless groundlings sometimes pursue lives as killers or mercenaries.

Created to be brute troops, groundling grunts love tearing flesh with their claws. If not controlled by a commanding leader, they're likely to slip away and pursue mayhem or to stop during a battle to feast on their kills.
