Morlock Tinkerer

Most morlocks have little talent for crafting, but many have an uncanny knack for tinkering. The sounds of machinery and moving parts tend to attract them. These morlocks particularly enjoy the ticking sounds of clockworks. Many tales from Darklands travelers describe morlocks who are able to take used or disabled mechanical traps and restore them, seemingly for the morlock's own satisfaction more than any desire to use the device.

Morlocks descended from humans who were lost among the dark, tangled tunnels of the upper reaches of the Darklands thousands of generations ago. Their eyes grew large and pale to absorb any speck of illumination. Their frames became wiry from an altered diet and their arms grew long, becoming perfect for the uncanny, four-limbed shuffle that lets them traverse the subterranean passages. However, their forms hide their strength and swiftness. Morlocks no longer remember the lives their ancestors led on the surface, although many of them dwell in shattered ruins that were swallowed by the earth. Some morlocks worship the statues of humans from these bygone eras as gods, but others now venerate Lamashtu, Rovagug, or other violent deities.

Morlocks typically stands just over 5 feet tall and weigh roughly 150 pounds.
