Slate Lurker

A small lizard-like creature with Voxel-slate scales that skitters across mine ceilings.

A reptilian thing no bigger than a housecat clings to the ceiling above you, its scales shimmering with the dull iridescence of Voxel-slate. It watches with too many eyes — some its own, some crystalline growths that catch the lantern light. Miners learn to check the ceiling before they check the walls. The lucky ones, anyway.
