Description:
Umber hulks are massive creatures that dwell deep within the earth. Ripping through rock as though it were light underbrush, they rampage continuously -- leaving a wake of destruction. An umber hulk is powerfully built, looking something like a cross between a great ape and a beetle. Armor plates cover virtually all of its chitinous body, whose scattered feelers resemble sparse hair. An umber hulk can deliver blows powerful enough to crush almost any enemy. In addition, its mandibles are strong enough to bite through armor or exoskeletons with ease. Despite its great bulk, the umber hulk is intelligent. When brute force won't overcome an enemy, it is more than capable of outthinking those who assume it to be a stupid beast.
