[sub]Dun (mountain) Gramor (living)[/sub]
 The Dun Gramor, Grumblers, or Rock-folk reside in the halls and peaks of the Gemstone mountains. Cut from the very shimmering peaks they reside upon, the Dun Gramor are of an elemental nature, perhaps inspired to life by divine or magical favor or mishap.
 
 Gramor make their homes in large cavernous halls with craggy, labyrinthine passages of their own construction using their swollen boulder like fists. Many misguided adventurers and trespassers have been lost in the endless halls of the Gramor, lured by the rumors of great wealth in jewels, gems and relics housed in the innermost fortresses. 

They are squat, hardy creatures, crafted entirely of rough-hewn rock and minerals. Their appearance varies greatly, often vividly speckled with minerals and gems on a grey craggy body. The heads are wide, molded into the shoulders creating the appearance of a lack of a neck. Their size varies as well, from no more than 4 feet tall to a towering 12 feet. 


They have little contact with the outside world and are worrisome for neighboring settlements. They are often the cause of avalanches and landslides, always preceded by a low, choir-like intonation that is characteristic of their kind in great activity. They require no sustenance, none that anyone has discovered. It has been suggested that they reproduce by 'carving' offspring from the very mountains themselves, but this is perhaps unfounded rumor, only the hollowed out boulders and cliff-faces that can be found among the Gemstone Mountains suggest such a thing.
