Umber hulks are massive creatures dwelling deep beneath the earth. Ripping through rock and stone as though 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. The wedge-shaped creature stands roughly 8 feet tall and measures nearly 5 feet across, weighing about 800 pounds. Armor plates cover virtually all of its chitinous body, whose scattered feelers resemble sparse hair. A massive pair of mandibles and rows of triangular teeth dominate the low, rounded head.

Despite its great bulk, the umber hulk is an intelligent creature. When brute force won’t overcome an enemy, it is more than capable of outthinking those who assume it to be a stupid beast. Umber hulks often use their tunneling ability to create deadfalls and pits for the unwary.
