Their bodies are stunted and hunch-backed, with powerful bent limbs, heavy claws, a powerful fanged jaw and a whip-like tail. The flesh of the bole is a hairless, mottled grey hue that blends easily into the surrounding rock, making them very difficult to spot. What makes them truly unique, however, is their peculiar defiance of gravity. Whereas most non-flying beings move across the ground, the bole is instead supernaturally drawn toward the ceiling. For them, up is down, the ceiling is their floor, and if they were to be drawn toward the ground then released, they would fall upward at the same rate as other objects fall down.Most bole are barely more intelligent than an animal, although they possess a native cunning and an instinctive ability to function as a pack with other members of their tribe. They crawl silently through the underground ways, relying on their stealth and camouflaged forms to hide them from potential foes, and signalling each other with their clicking language.The bole primarily seek rich sources of metallic ores, which they are capable of consuming with their razor-sharp fangs and powerful jaws. They will often hunt living, intelligent creatures, but only to gain possession of the metal objects they carry. They are particularly fond of certain rare metals such as gold and silver, but will settle for refined iron when available.A bole is nearly three feet in height and weighs about 90 pounds. All bole speak their own simple language, a rapid clicking tongue that is not readily immitated by other humanoids. A few are able to speak a crude form of undercommon.CombatThe bole craft well-balanced missile weapons from sharp pieces of rock, which they can hurl with uncanny precision using their powerful arms. Unlike their bodies, the weapons they use fall normally under gravity to strike their targets. When a large cavern is available for an ambush, a bole pack will often lossen and drop heavy rocks from the ceiling upon their foe. They then weigh down their bodies with sacks of rocks in order to gather up the resulting spoils, gradually releasing their load until they float back upward.Fall Upward (Su): A bole's body is naturally repelled by gravity. This repulsion grants it a permanent reverse gravity effect (as the spell) with personal range. This does not affect any objects carried or worn by the bole.Light Sensitivity (Ex): Boles are dazzled in bright  sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.Skills: A bole has a +4 racial bonus on Climb and Move Silently checks. *When hiding in an area of natural rock, a bole gains a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks.</blockquote>
