Blind Mole Rat
A burrowing rodent that strikes from below with oversized incisors.
A hairless, wrinkled creature the size of a large dog, with pale pink skin and vestigial eyes sealed shut under folds of flesh. Its incisors are enormous — yellowed, chisel-edged, and never stop growing. The Blind Mole Rat navigates entirely by vibration and scent, sensing footsteps through the stone. It burrows with frightening speed, erupting from the floor beneath unwary travelers. The tunnels it leaves behind riddle the upper caves, occasionally collapsing passages entirely.
