Cave Grub monster 1002

newmonster   "Cave Grub"
descr        "The ancestry of the Pale Ones is much disputed. Either they are devolved Olms, or evolved Cave Grubs.  Those of us who believe that the Pale Ones are conscious and have a will would place them in the first category.  Cave Grubs resemble the grubs found in dirt and dung all over Elysium, only bigger.  Grubs have a multitude of small feet, but no apparent prehensile appendages.  Olms on the other hand have four prehensile limbs.  Pale Ones resemble humans, in that they have arms with hands and legs with feet.  They are clearly closer to Olms than grubs in this regard.  Furthermore, Cave Grubs produce a highly corrosive saliva, which again do neither Olms, nor Pale Ones.  It should be noted that the Pale Ones herd the beasts and use them as tunnelers and excavators of their deep-earth kingdoms.  Finally, the grub is blind and orients itself through unknown means.  The Olm is also blind, but some organs resembling eyes can be found on the sides of their heads.  Pale Ones are cyclopean, but a change from two eyes to one is less far fetched than getting a new one where there was none.  So we must conclude that the Pale Ones truly are a species of degenerate Olms."
