Vein-Stalker
A large spider-like entity composed of living Slate rock, perfectly camouflaged against cave walls.
You would not have seen it if you had not struck the wall. One moment — rock. The next, the rock is unfolding, eight jointed legs of interlocking slate plates peeling away from the surface with a sound like grinding millstones. Its body is the wall. Its fangs are stalactites sharpened to needle points. Miners call them Vein-Stalkers because they hide along ore veins, waiting for the sound of a pickaxe to bring dinner close. By the time you see the eyes — eight pale crystals arranged in a crescent — it is already too late to run.
