I love the cautionary tale of a group of assholes that were rallied against by everyone else driven from the light and thus they degenerated into monsters.One of my favorite fantasy tropes.
The one aspect of Grimlocks I always likes was that they can see without their eyes. Like a subterranean version of Daredevil. A Grimlock Ranger wielding two +1 poisonous stone hatchets backed up by his pet Dire Bat companion has always been the image in my head when I think of them.
Y'know, with all the shit they deal with, I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them fucked off to a nice, secluded surface area and raised Gorgons or something. That would be an interesting encounter for some adventurers, finding this odd farmstead out in the wilderness.
So, this is hella random, but I’m curious if anyone feels the same way. Morningstars need the “versatile” trait. I find it incredibly vexing that they don’t, as there’s no logical reason for why they lack the trait. My feelings on this also extend to maces and clubs to a certain extent.
While listening to their treatment as the Uthgardt I’m picturing the creatures from Bone Tomahawk. Once they’ve become full on Grimlock, the creatures from The Descent. Copy and Paste beats from these movies with a DnD twist and you’ve got my attention!
Me: Listening to scary stories and getting mildly freaked out.... "Ooooh a new video who could it be? Oh AJ! Nice!" clicks on video and it is about underdwelling cannibals. "Huh, and here I came to get away from scary stories. Nice." Good job again AJ! As always you have earned that cheese mate.
Me (as DM): Your party is surprise attacked by a group of Grimlocks. They seem to be operating as one cohesive organized unit. Veteran player: SH^T! There is a Mind Flayer somewhere!
Yet another reason to stay the heck out of the Underdark. Trogs, grims, kuo toa, and cave fishers everywhere, and they can see (or smell/hear) you better than you can see them!
Shout spells work REALLY well with these beasties! Loved that last pic of the drow being sacrificed to lolth....also anything with a strong scent such as perfume can also stun them
Michael Kelligan Thunder Wave is a killer against them....just beware of what else might here you in the deep. Thunderous Step is a good one to get away from a group of these beasties.
7:49 Poop? Did you really say poop? Grimlocks are also hated by Githyanki due to their close symbiotic relationship with mind flayers....when the illithids consume the brains of their victims the remains are given to the grimlocks and they in turn protect and inform the mind flayers of potential threats!
These are taken from "The Time Machine" by HG Wells if I'm not mistaken. Edit: I'm thinking of 'Morlocks', but they're the same creature basically. Fun Fact (by fact I mean my thoughtful opinion) - I think Mind Flayers were based on the Thrint in Larry Niven's old skool sci-fi novels. larryniven.fandom.com/wiki/Thrint AJ, did you ever get into Rifts?
I used these beings as punishment. Standard campaign leader of the pcs wanted to be a god. Campaign went divine route. So they got what they wanted just not what they asked for.
1.) Why dose everything else have eyes but them? 2.) Are those barbarian tribes still around or did they all either die, become Grimlocks, or abandon it? 3.) How common are entrances into/exits out of the under-dark, or tunnels within? 4.) Since it is pretty much all enclosed spaces do you thing planer portals are more common in the under-dark, possibly allowing some creatures dependent on phazerous energy to show up where it dose not exist (or something crazy like a purple worm in sigil)? 5.) Do different races prefer different levels of the under-dark? If so, where could we find that information? 6.) Are most entrances to the under-dark made by the rare purple worm surfacing, or something else? 7.)What is a spider handler? To they raise them, care for them, train them? 8.) What do the Peck do with what they mine, and how far do they go to get them (other peoples mines, other peoples property, etc.)? 9.) Do the Grimlocks have defined territory in the under-dark (and if so, dose anyone really want it)? 10.) How common is lava in the under-dark?
1.) A lot of underdark creatures don't, however it is more common in the UPPER underdark, which has far less flora, less glowing fungus, so, in most places the upper underdark is actually much darker than it is lower down. 2.) Those two particular tribes who follow those animal totems are no longer around, other Uthgardt tribes are doing well. 3.) There are quite a lot, sometimes a specific area will be rich in them, depends on the geology. 4.) Hard to say, the relationship with the energy is not critical, and portals of sufficient size to allow a purple worm through are vanishingly rare in Sigil. 5.) Yes. Best sources are Drizzt's Guide to the Underdark, The Underdark, and the Faerun wikipedia pages. 6.) Most are geological, caused by normal erosion, volcanism and such, only a few are made deliberately, Purple worm tunnels don't remain passable very long. 7.) Yes, exactly that. 8.) Pech stay away from other people's territory and property, they are neutral good people who lead quiet lives in the deep tunnels. They use gems and precious metals much like any other race does. 9.) Aside from Fingerhome, they are nomadic people who are always on the move. 10.) Well, it's not uncommon, but for the most part, the Upper Underdark is dark, cold and either very wet or very dry, the middle underdark is lush, tropically warm and dimly lit in many places, the lower underdark is Murky, tropically hot, has vast lakes and oceans, may have lava falls and lava lakes, and is very, very dangerous.
Enjoyed the video, I am looking o the grimlocks here soon. Humanoids that were over taken by greed in a mountain range that 500+ years ago had a gem rush. Lost in their greed they went deeper and deeper and eventually were unable to find there way back to the surface. I really with AJ, you would link the images you use for your videos. I CANNOT find the Thumbnail are you used for this video and it is PERFECT :(
my Grimlocks in my Wild West D&D campaign, have certain shaman's that as a cantrip can cast "pheromoan" which enables to them to speak with Mantis peoples and Ant peoples and other pheromone casting critterfolk
Man the newest version of that film gave me daymeres while watching it. Those morlocks were "INTENCE"! XD "... they would exhaust the food supply..." Ugh! And those post human faces. Well with ilithid tamperering you could definitely justify a psionic overseeing class with a taste for fine wine and good "breeding". Whew i still feel like i was too young to watch that movie, as an adult. 🍷🧐🧠
I suppose one could play the most eloquent of canibals, a psion rapierist minded of measure and degree. *character dies, ressurecting cleric and psionic grimlock fight over the corpse, for "religious" reasons*.
Hey AJ, great video as usual. Bit of a pie in the sky question here, but do you think you might cover the Kalashtar/Quori sometime in the not too far-flung future? I recently started looking into the lore surrounding them both while throwing new PC ideas at the wall, and it is immensely interesting and seems pretty easy to port into other settings as well. There's still aspects of Eberron that I'm not too keen on, but the more I've looked into it, the more I've become certain that it has some of the most inventive and intriguing characters races on the books.
Just for clarity "devolve" is not a term in biology or science generally. It is a political term. The correct term is "evolve" as evolution does not necessarily imply an increase in complexity, intelligence or strength.
I was going to ask if you had seen the move descent as that was my favorite depiction of a grimlock but i think thats what your using for your title picture lol
We had a friendly tribe in an underdark campaign. They got massacred by Drow in reprisal for the players killing a Drow Cleric. Shot full of arrows by Darksnipers and charged down by Orogs.
those stone skinned human barbarians, perhaps servants bred by stone giants? intended as slaves for the giants while they tended to their art and were left to wander free after the fall of the giant empires? I know the fazress can mutate living creatures rapidly, but 1000 years is awfully short amount of time to "evolve" out eyes, considering those have been around since jelly fish. sounds more like someone made some deals with devils for sharper senses maybe. I can also see these guys running around in hunting parties with basilisks, maybe even riding the backs of giant ancient basilisks only found in the deep lower underdark. there is just something epic about that to me. players come upon a hunting party of grimlocks riding basilisks with umber hulks as hunting beasts while a silent shadow floats around behind them at a distance; their Illithid "god". make it really messed up and it's not just an illithid, its an alhoon who uses the grimlocks to hunt the illithid hunting him. kill the grimlocks only for him to raise them for round two. okay, maybe that one is a bit much. or he can offer you a choice, live and kill the hunters, or die here and be raised as undead cannon fodder.
They have radically different teeth, their bone and muscle structure is altered and they no longer require sunlight to survive, also, they can live on an entirely carnivorous diet, so, yeah, a lot of changes and definitely something supernatural has been the cause.
Good morning AJ, really enjoyed the video. I remember grimlocks from my AD&D days. Thank you for bringing up there reskin Greatclub. That is one of the hidden weapons in d&d 5e I have come across. That weapon sets precedent for reskin weapons. It changes the static damage of the greatclub from (4) to (5), which now makes it equal to a d10. If you had 10 hp it would take 3 hits to kill your PC with a greatclub, now you use the reskin'd greatclub it only takes 2 hits to bring the PC down. In my mind AJ that is a powerful adjustment. If you have time please let me known what you think of all this. Thanks AJ & have a great day.

I went down to the bottom once. It is full of twitch streamers. (The lowest places in the Underdark are volcanically hot, so life clusters around deep oceans and lakes, where the aboleth sovereignty rules. Also, deep vaults house terrors from the ancient past and the Illithids lurk in secretive compounds. In between, there are aberrations, such as Beholders, and lots of infernal and elemental creatures.)
They're evolved. To say they are devolved is to say grimlock's are an earlier stage of human evolution. Grimlock's simply evolved to their environment; that's it.
So these things were actually related to humans while they were humans I thought these guys were Neanderthals a subspecies of humanity but interesting the guy feel like they're in the old Conan the Barbarian series
Erythnul the god of slaughter his favorite weapon is a blunted morning Star think about that not a mace or flail or even a regular MorningStar no he took a regular Morningstar and smashed the points of it blunt Odd thing the morning Star is a reference to Lucifer
I’ve always felt that Quagoth had some sort of relation to Bugbears. Like if a human banged a bugbear the offspring would be a Quagoth, or something around that line. And have half hobgoblins ever been a thing? Because I feel like that would happen a lot.
Humans don't bang bugbears, goblinoids seem to not be anywhere near as compatible as Orcs when it comes to crossbreeds, so, if there is any banging going on, it is a Bugbear greatclub connecting with a human skull.
Do you think the drow enjoy that they're pushing the grimlocks too the violent excesses of geniune desperation? A true horror of the underdark to be proud of. Maybe even telling their torture victims the exact content of grimlock goop. #RollToSaveAgainstInsanity.
devolving isn't something that can happen if we are speaking of standard biological evolution. it doesn't have an up or down, forward or backward. it only has change and if it's able to reproduce better in the current circumstances.
@@vinx.909 correct, "devolve" is a term for the decentralisation of political power from a centre or capital to regional authorities. Nothing to do with biology (or even creationism).

The one aspect of Grimlocks I always likes was that they can see without their eyes. Like a subterranean version of Daredevil. A Grimlock Ranger wielding two +1 poisonous stone hatchets backed up by his pet Dire Bat companion has always been the image in my head when I think of them.
Y'know, with all the shit they deal with, I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them fucked off to a nice, secluded surface area and raised Gorgons or something.
That would be an interesting encounter for some adventurers, finding this odd farmstead out in the wilderness.
Just realized why Grimlocks are still DnD, the owners of the original Grimlock own Wizards too. XD
I was actually in the middle of creating a vampire clan for my homebrew setting and needed some "cattle" for them to feed on. This is perfect
So, this is hella random, but I’m curious if anyone feels the same way.
Morningstars need the “versatile” trait. I find it incredibly vexing that they don’t, as there’s no logical reason for why they lack the trait. My feelings on this also extend to maces and clubs to a certain extent.
I agree. Nunchucks(both 2 & 3 piece) too and those chinese sword/mace things.
While listening to their treatment as the Uthgardt I’m picturing the creatures from Bone Tomahawk. Once they’ve become full on Grimlock, the creatures from The Descent. Copy and Paste beats from these movies with a DnD twist and you’ve got my attention!

It's a good morning when I wake up to a new D&D vid
-So, why no human in the underdark?
-wym. No more than 1k years ago... Ooo...
I imagine Grimlocks would make for a rather interesting, horror focused adventure, stealth checks, distracting them with sound, etc.
Is it wrong that these have more in common with the future predators from primeval than they do the murlock?
Murlocks? GArraleblebleblebb!!
Yet another reason to stay the heck out of the Underdark. Trogs, grims, kuo toa, and cave fishers everywhere, and they can see (or smell/hear) you better than you can see them!

A grimlock PC could be interesting for an underdark based campaign.. maybe a warlock, bound to either a shoggoth or an illithid elder brain
WotC needs to hire you to write the next monster manual.
Or something.
Now we need the rest of the dinobot team

My dude just chose dragon then become a dracolich. screw vampirism.
Dragon
@@AJPickett can i ask why? Im writing a fiction novel and the MC has the same choice.
Dragon then shape shift into a vampire, then achieve lichdom. Because a dragon is kinda superiour to the other two monsters in most universes.
