Xornlings are diminutive 4 inch subterranean monstrosities that sustain themselves on rocks, minerals, gems and metals. They resemble alien-esque spiders with six legs, a hard, noduled carapace, and darting eyes scattered across their body. A grinding maw is located beneath their oval midsection. Xornlings "hear" gems and metals within 120 ft, have animal like intelligence, and often develop a taste for jewellery and coins. A xornling left to its own devices will eat 1d10 coins, gemstones, or a chunk of a metal every few hours. Xornlings are natural chameleons and gain advantage when hiding. The bite of a xornling causes minimal damage, but requires a Luck (Con) save or causes 1 Str loss. An adventurer reduced to zero Str is turned to stone.
