Trench Wyrdling

[Back to creatures]

Explorers are still trying to determine how trench creatures are created. Some believe that they are the result of mundane beasts coming into contact with ancient technology; others think that the forgotten gods created these creatures as beasts of war.

Whatever the case, trench creatures are typically solitary, but they are remarkably dangerous. Trench Abominations resemble apex predators of the land such as bears or lions, while Trench Wyrdlings look like some odd fusion of giant lobster and octopus.
