Grimlock (Dungeons & Dragons)
Grimlock is a fictional monstrous humanoid that lives in the Underdark, a vast interconnected system of caves underneath various ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign settings. Based on subterranean humanoids called "morlocks" created by H.G. Wells for his 1895 novel ''The Time Machine'', the grimlock was first adapted for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D), and has appeared in each subsequent version of D&D rules as a savage, pale-skinned and eyeless humanoid that dwells in dark places and prefers the taste of human flesh.
==Antecedent: the morlock==
In 1895, H.G. Wells created a horrific species of carnivorous subhumans called "morlocks" for his novel ''The Time Machine''. These creatures lived in dark subterranean places, only emerging at night to seek food. The Narrator of the novel describes one as "a queer little apelike figure, its head held down in a peculiar manner... (was a ) dull white, and had strange large greyish-red eyes; also that there was flaxen hair on its head and down its back... (were the ) half-bleached colour of the worms and things one sees preserved in spirit in a zoological museum. And they were filthily cold to the touch."
