Rock Eaters

Rock Eaters are large monsters inhabiting underground areas that consume rocks, gems, and occasionally people. One Rock Eater was confronted by numerous adventurers in an abandoned mine.

Overview
Rock Eaters rely on vibrations to locate prey before digging out of the walls underground to attack. They have a hard thick shell that makes them very resistant to physical and magical attacks, making it necessary to deal attacks to the mouth, feet, between its plates, or to the eye to damage it. Fortunately, their mouths seem very sensitive to pain, as a single sword thrust into one's maw was enough to make it stop in its tracks and recoil.

Appearance
The appearance of a Rock Eater is comparable to a large many-legged insect, which results in frequent confusion between them and giant centipedes. A single eye is located above the large mouth that sports numerous rows of massive teeth.
