Ancient crawlers are the relics of ancient creatures that were banished to the Underdark long ago, and shortly after were deactivated and buried in massive underground dungeons. They vaguely resemble horses, though they are much larger and stronger, and never tire. Jet black plates of metal adorn them, and their resistance is incredible. Some time ago, some started to reactivate, but they usually keep to their dungeons, protecting the vestiges of an empire they do not know has fallen. Constructed Nature. An ancient crawler doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
