Ⅱ

Xorns are three-legged, three-armed, and three-eyed natives of the Plane of Earth who come to the Universe in search of interesting metals and gemstones to consume.

Ecology

Xorns have a mutually predatory relationship with rock trolls, another species that is both composed of and feeds upon gems and minerals, leading to ferocious clashes when groups of the two creatures encounter one another.

On Golarion

The Deeptreasure Mining Company of the Bandu Hills, in the Mwangi Expanse of Golarion, exploited xorns in order to mine gemstones for decades by promising to return them to the Plane of Earth in exchange for their labor. This lasted until hobgoblin explorers of the Stone Roads from Oprak encountered the company and freed the xorns ca. 4721 AR as part of their campaign to destabilize and usurp the company's holdings.

On distant worlds

Xorns can be found on any of the rocky planets or moons our the solar system that contain gems or precious metals. They are particularly drawn to Bretheda's crystalline moon of Dykon.
