Minor xorns are about 3 feet tall and wide and weigh about 120 pounds. Average xorns are about 5 feet tall and wide, weighing about 600 pounds. Elder xorns are about 8 feet tall and wide and weigh about 9,000 pounds.

Xorns speak Common and Terran.

===Combat===

Xorns do not attack fleshly beings except to defend themselves or their property, since they cannot digest meat. Xorns are indifferent to creatures of the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]]—with the sole exception of anyone carrying a significant amount of precious metals or minerals, which xorns eat. They can smell food up to 20 feet away. A xorn can be quite aggressive when seeking food, especially on the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]], where such sustenance is harder to find than it is on its native plane.

A xorn’s favorite mode of attack is to wait just beneath a stone surface until a foe comes within reach, then emerge suddenly. Groups of xorns often send one of their number to the surface to negotiate for food while the remainder position themselves for a surprise attack.

'''All-Around Vision {{Ex}}:''' A xorn’s symmetrically placed eyes allow it to look in any direction, providing a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] and [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] checks. A xorn can’t be flanked.  

'''Earth Glide {{Ex}}:''' A xorn can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence. A ''[[SRD:Move Earth|move earth]]'' spell cast on an area containing a burrowing xorn flings the xorn back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] unless it succeeds on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]].
