Delvers are creatures that live underground, usually close to the surface, as they emerge nightly to feed on insects and plants, sleeping during the day. They are called delvers because they tend to inhabit caves with high concentrations of iron ore, though nobody knows why. They also like to live near large bodies of water. They resemble lizards, though they stand on their hind legs and have a venomous bite.
