It lives deep within the earth, spending all of its time tunneling through and eating rock and earth. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px">Some races call this creature a stone-eater, though it is commonly known by its dwarven name of horgar, and its less commonly known gnomish name of storgin (both of which mean “stone-eater”). These mysterious creatures are sometimes worshipped as gods by primitive lesser races. Some races try to tame horgar, to use the creatures to make passageways as they want and to attack enemies. Such captive horgar are kept in glass-lined pits, and their keepers (called horgarin in the Dwarf tongue) slip long, thin spears through the cracks in their skin to prod the sensitive flesh below. Thus, a horgarin may control which direction a horgar moves, though a careless handler is likely to lose his life to his charge. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px">A horgar’s chitinous skin is made from five-foot thick stone, with great cracks that divide it into large plates. These plates shift and slide while the creature moves, creating small fissures from which the horgar secretes its super-heated slime. This acidic slime smells like ammonia, and the gases it produces cause creatures to gag. A horgar also constantly generates searing heat from its body, reaching between 400 and 500 degrees. As a horgar moves, it grinds against the tunnel walls it makes, as its slime and heat melt the rock and fuse it into new formations. The only exposed part of a horgar is its round head, located at one end, which just seems to be a lump of softer-looking stone. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px">It is easy to detect a fresh stone-eater tunnel, as it remains hot for many hours.

A horgar does not recognize most organic things as living creatures, and tends to continue moving whether or not something is in the way. If provoked or attacked, a horgar will usually try to leave. If it cannot run away, a horgar will turn to fight. It can squirt acid from its head up to 20 feet away. It will try to flee again at the first available opportunity. A horgar is both so dangerous and hard to kill that most creatures will simply leave it be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong>Acid Squirt (Ex)</strong>: A horgar can spit a stream of acid from its head at an opponent or area.

The passage of a horgar through earth leaves pools of pure acid that form at the bottom of the tunnel. Any creatures touching these pools with bare flesh take 10d4 points of acid damage.
