Resembling giant tentacle faced worms, the chthonians are subterrainian creatures who communicate via telepathy. Little is known of their culture, and even their name, if indeed they give themselves one, is unknown. They lay their eggs near the surface, and most of their interaction with humanity occurs when mining or curiousity endangers their eggs or their nesting sites.
