Xorn

Elemental · Medium

Xorns are strange, three-armed creatures of elemental earth that swim through solid rock and eat gems and precious metals. They are not malicious, and a xorn will often bargain or leave a party alone if fed, but it can smell coins in a purse. Miners curse them for emptying veins before they reach them.
