Pale, cannibalistic humanoids who dwell underground.
- Native language (Morlokkian) comprised of screeches and clicking noises.
> Most adventurers have come across a cave full of these things at one point or another, finding themselves suddenly surrounded by a couple dozen creepers, clicking and screeching all around you, with a handful of overseers driving them on. For many, it's the last thing they ever see. But rumor has it that these are just the "scouts", and that the true rulers of the dark kingdoms lie deep within their caverns, mulling over plans of conquest of the surface with their enlarged brains, and feasting on the bones of those unfortunate souls captured by their grunts...
### Subtypes
- [Morlokk Creeper](./morlokk-creeper.html): Feral, hate light, attack by swarming victims.
- [Morlokk Overseer](./morlokk-overseer.html): Large, semi-intelligent, with glowing red eyes and the ability to control the creepers.
- [Morlokk Master](./morlokk-master.html): Intelligent psychics with glowing red eyes and enlarged, bone-covered heads.
- [Morlokk Emperor](./morlokk-emporer.html): Short, squat, hyper-intelligent psychics with enormous heads, glowing red eyes, and exposed brains which enable them to control other morlokks.
### Ratios
- For every 4-8 [Morlokk creepers](./morlokk-creeper.html), there's a [Morlokk overseer](./morlokk-overseer.html).
- For every 20-30 creepers, there's a [Morlokk master](./morlokk-master.html) (although they may be watching from the shadows if with a group that's wandered away from their territory).
- The [Morlokk emperor](./morlokk-emporer.html) lives in their lair, surrounded by 1d4 masters.
### Magic Items
- [Lightning Rod](/magic-items/morlokk-lightning-rod.html): A lightweight, blackened metal rod, 2' in length, and tipped with a small smooth ball that glows and crackles with small arcs of lightning when readied.
- [Pain Staff](/magic-items/polearm-morlokk-pain-staff.html): A long black metal pole tipped with a small spiked ball that glows and crackles with small arcs of lightning when readied.
