D6	These grimlocks are
1	religious ascetics, who retreat into the dark and imbibe entheogenic concoctions to transcend the world of appearances.
2	the fallen survivors of an apocalyptic future wherein the surface of the world became uninhabitable, flung to the past in a desperate escape from extinction.
3	an ancient hominid offshoot evolved for a subterranean existence.
4	the escaped slaves of a dwarven civilization.
5	the children of a defeated aristocracy who were fed mutagenic herbs and sealed into caves.
6	the descendants of a party of adventurers and their hirelings who became lost in the underworld.

D6	These grimlocks have
1	milk-white skin that bruises when exposed to the light of the sun, even faint reflected moonlight, to a plum-dark purple.
2	huge, cloudy-grey eyes, which have the unpleasant tendency to pop out of their skulls when they get old.
3	had their pinkie fingers and toes develop into hooked claws to assist with climbing and clambering.
4	creepily-elongating limbs and nails, telescoping out of their joints and beds.
5	profuse cutaneous horns.
6	cartilaginous ridges like the inside of an ear all over their bodies.

D6	These grimlocks compensate for their blindness
1	with clicking echolocation, tongues snapping like little whips.
2	with long, aye-aye-like fingers they tap rapidly against the ground to produce and pick up vibrations.
3	with metallic whiskers that detect electromagnetic fields from the earth and other living things.
4	with a psychic pirate-proprioception, picking up the position and orientation of nearby life-forms in relation to their own body.
5	with snuffling stereoscopic nostrils that can pick up bloodhound-subtle scent-signals in the air.
6	with pinpoint hearing.

D6	These grimlocks' technology
1	is eccentric, unintuitive in what it can and can't do - they claim to have been given it by people from "the undermost".
2	is based on selectively-bred and -grafted organisms.
3	is nearly entirely immaterial - they instead have techniques to train their minds and bodies to fill the niches physical technology otherwise would.
4	would be considered cutting-edge on the surface - though lack of resources and personnel prevent mass production - each of their items is a unique and irreplaceable marvel.
5	is generally primitive, though not for lack of technical knowledge - stone and fungi and so on are simply the best and cheapest fit for their day-to-day needs given common underground resources.
6	is more advanced than the surface world's - looted from sunken ruins, or perhaps retained from some fallen history.

D6	These grimlocks live
1	in a hollow like the inside of a vase, clamber-holds and shelter-hooks cut into its sides, ranging out to hunt the rangy beasts of the outlying areas.
2	on the shore of a cavernous slime-lake, the radiotrophic bacteria suffusing it glowing in the dark, zoogleal vermiforms drawn up and butchered painstakingly like pufferfish to remove their deadliest parts.
3	semi-nomadically, herding sardinical, blind, amphibious, sucker-climbing fish from pool to dank cave pool.
4	in a tectonically-active region, around a pillar of piezoluminescent crystal that emits blinding light due to tectonic pressure, growing black crops in its radiance.
5	on a polyporous ziggurat of chronovorous fungus, their lost time deemed a good trade-off for their non-starving lives.
6	inside the gargantuan, semi-fossilized carcass of a lobotomized demi-god sustained by their worship of it.

D6	These grimlocks are threatened
1	by a 4-dimensional geometroid which inflicts strange vivisections and mutations on them, and can skip across expanses of solid stone like a rock across a pond.
2	by a being of living light, an elemental which they cannot perceive yet which feeds off their attention, their fear and their anger.
3	by a The Little Mermaid-type situation, wherein one among their number has made a deal with a devil to pursue their love with a surface-dweller - and now it's developing in a Needful Things-esque scenario as the devil comes to others in their ranks to offer them deals too.
4	by a drow who's seduced their leader, and aims to have the strongest among them taken as battle-thralls to the arena.
5	by a dwarf-hold using their home as a dumping ground for industrial waste.
6	by a sickness they contracted from a surface-dweller they found and nursed back to health.

D20	This apprentice's master

3	is a despised plagiarist and fabulist.
4	is a hardened veteran war-wizard still bitter about being pushed out of the political sphere after retiring from the battlefield.
5	is a former adventurer, sagacious with forgotten lore and traumatized by their own maiming and the loss of their companions in the darkness below the world.
6	puts on the front of a kindly elder, but is in actuality a serial killer fascinated by the transformation of human flesh by lethal magic.
7	once aspired to be an evil overlord, leading an army of the undead to conquer the world, but gave up that dark dream after finding religion - following the merciful wolf-saint Amartza.

17	is distractably obsessive, juggling several ground-breaking and extremely dangerous projects at once.
18	is whimsical & twee even in the face of atrocity - even when committing atrocities.
