Xorn prefer not to leave their home plane, where they
easily eat their fill of gemstones and precious metals.
When a xorn winds up on the Material Plane, whether
by accident or from curiosity, it seeks sustenance
and a way home.
Beggars and T h ieves. Xorn scour the depths of the
earth for precious metal and stones. Because they
are unable to consume organic material, they ignore
most other creatures. However, a xorn's ability to sniff
out metals and stones often draws its attention to
adventurers carrying coins and gems. Because a xorn
isn't evil, it pleads or bargains in the hope of convincing
owners to give up their treasure, offering up information
it has learned from its travels in exchange. A xorn
whose requests are ignored might resort to threats and
bullying. If starving or angered, it resorts to force.
