Grikkitog
- For another meaning of "hungry earth", please see hungry earth (spell).
Grikkitogs, known also as hungry earth, are parasitic creatures from the Plane of Earth who inhabit rock and earth formations in order to trap prey and feed.12
Appearance
Grikkitog appearances vary greatly. A young grikkitog lacks form and exists as conceptual energy until it can possess an earth elemental host, which forms the physical core of its being. The creature then reaches out into its environment, growing hungry mouths and eyes on nearby rock and earth outcroppings to catch unwary prey.12
Abilities
Grikkitogs possess some abilities common of denizens from the Plane of Earth: the ability to pass seamlessly through stone, a knowledge of vibrations and movement around them, and the like. Most of their unique abilities revolve around the possession of their environment, however, such as countless eyes granting them excellent vision of their inhabited terrain.12
Ecology
Grikkitogs primarily inhabit the Plane of Earth and are often the subject of horror stories among its residents. Being that the creatures perfectly blend in to their surroundings, disappearances are common in areas of grikkitog infestation.12
Grikkitogs have migrated to other planes, and even to the Universe.12
History
Those knowledgable about the period of war between the elemental lords consider Ayrzul responsible for creating grikkitogs as an experimental weapon, but the Fossilized King underestimated them and his creations escaped containment when they became too hungry.12
