At a Glance
A chaotic evil extraplanar outsider.
The Xaeyruudh Campaign
I’ve chosen to remove this creature from the earth subtype and add it to the chaotic subtype. It might reside in a muddy and fungus-infested area of the Elemental Plane of Earth, or more likely the Paraelemental Plane of Ooze, but I’m thinking it probably originated in the Abyss. It seems like an appropriate minion of Juiblex or Ghaunadaur. Maybe it’s not interested in carving a niche for itself in the outer planes and prefers easier hunting grounds elsewhere. Whatever the case, its nature and abilities have a whole lot of nothing to do with elemental earth and there’s no clear justification for it having the earth subtype.
