Xorn

D&D 2024 monster: Xorn. Source: Monster Manual (2014). challenge rating 5, creature type Elemental, Medium size, speed 20 ft., burrow 20 ft. Bizarre creatures native to the Elemental Plane of Earth, xorn sniff out gemstones and precious metals, then tunnel through earth and rock to consume those treasures. On the Material Plane, xorn must range far and wide through the Underdark to sustain themselves, becoming aggressive toward miners and treasure hunters when the valuable minerals of their diet are scarce. A xorn's unnatural origins are suggested by its unusually heavy body and the large, powerful mouth sitting atop its head. Its three long arms are each tipped with sharp talons, and its three large, stone-lidded eyes see in all directions. Elemental Travelers Possessed of the power of elemental earth, a xorn glides through stone and dirt as easily as a fish swims through water. It doesn't displace earth or stone when it moves, but merges with and flows through it, leaving no tunnel, hole, or hint of its passage. Keep a few gems in your pocket. A hungry xorn is a helpful xorn. Elemental Medium 20 ft., burrow 20 ft.
