An Umber Hulk burrows through the earth and scours the Underdark in search
of prey. As it burrows, it leaves rough-hewn tunnels in its wake. Although
it doesn't speak, an umber hulk understands Deep Speech.
Umber Hulk Tactics:
An umber hulk charges into battle and makes a basic attack against its nearest
foe, and then spends its action point to make a grabbing double attack against
the same target. It uses confusing gaze as often as it can to confound
its enemies.
Shadow Hulk Tactics:
The shadow hulk oftion hides from view and uses its tremorsense to detect prey.
It then phases through a wall or other obstruction and attacks with surprise,
using its maddening gaze and grabbing double attack every round
until it successfully grabs a creature with its mandibles.
Umber Hulk Lore:
A character knows the following information with a successful skill check.
Dungeoneering or Nature DC20: Umber Hulks use their thick claws to hew passages
through earth and stone. Many deep caverns in the Underdark are linked together
by umber hulk tunnels.
Arcana or Nature DC25: An umber hulk's gaze causes confusion among its enemies,
making them wander in a daze or, in the case of shadow hulks, attack their friends.
Encounter Groups:
More intelligent Underdark races often enslave umber hulks. The creatures are
loyal servitors as long as their masters keep them well fed.
Level 13 Encounter(XP 4,000)
2 umber hulks (level 12 elite soldier)
2 drow warriors (level 11 lurker)
