Dogmole

Dogmoles are about the size of a large dog, but much bulkier than average, with barrel shaped bodies. They have a ring of tentacles just above their mouth which they use for fine senses, running them along walls to feel the texture in incredible detail, and enhanced smell to help track what is nearby. Their vision and sight are comparatively quite poor, but they spend most of their lives in tight, underground tunnels where there is little to see or here. Mountain dwarves have tamed a large population of dogmoles, which are used as guard beasts and to detect poor water and toxic gases. Dogmoles have an innate hatred of worms, possibly due to an evolutionary rivalry with some species of predatory worm, and so will viciously and unerringly attack worms they encounter, including massive cave worms that they have no hope of even harming.

Derro sometimes steal dogmoles from dwarven settlements, and then practice brutal, corrupting magic upon them to produce juggernauts. Twisted by the strange magic, they grow much larger and more vicious, fighting on through apparently fatal wounds to rampage through whatever target’s they’re pointed at. Even the derro can barely control a juggernaut, conditioning them into not attacking (most) derro and magically dominating them when that fails.

Inspired by the Tome of Beasts 1. This post came out a week ago on my Patreon. If you want to get access to all my monster conversions early, as well as access to my premade adventures and other material I’m working on, consider backing me there!
