Amôats

Amôats are a fictional species from the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. They are described as subterranean humanoids known for their pale, leathery skin and their unusual reliance on tremorsense. This ability allows them to perceive their surroundings through vibrations in the ground, making them exceptionally adept at navigating dark and confined spaces. Amôats are typically depicted as living in complex underground tunnel systems, often in close-knit communities.

These creatures are generally portrayed as pragmatic and insular, preferring to avoid contact with surface dwellers. Their society is often depicted as hierarchical, with individuals gaining status through their ability to find resources or defend their territory. Amôats are known for their hardy nature and their resilience to harsh environments, which is reflected in their physical adaptations.

Their diet consists primarily of fungi and subterranean insects, supplemented by any minerals they can digest. While not inherently aggressive, Amôats will fiercely defend their homes and kin if threatened. Their understanding of the world is heavily influenced by their tremorsense, leading to unique cultural perspectives and sensory experiences that differ significantly from those of sighted beings. Their technology, if it can be called that, is focused on mining, excavation, and the creation of simple but effective tools and weapons suited to their underground existence.
