Editing Morlock

'''Morlocks''' are subterranean predators which HG Wells predicted in his satirical novel ''The Time Machine'', whose prey is us here on the surface. Wells had delved into all manner of European lore about trolls under bridges, dwarves in the mountains, and the ''[[drow|svart alfr]]''.

Morlocks joined [[gremlin]]s as neomythology when the [[derro]] came into our knowledge. [[Dungeons & Dragons]] has several morlock-like monsters, not least those derro, but also the [[Fiend Folio]] meenlocks which precede even them. But it didn't get around to including morlocks themselves.

Perhaps TSR worried about copyright, perhaps TSR figured these beasties - as a future race - unfit for a mediaeval setting. (As if that stopped other time traveling races like [[illithid]]s, or all that scifi crap in City Of The Gods and Barrier Peaks.) [[Paizo]] got a clue or, maybe, figured out that by the late 2000s all that Victoriana was public-domain; so included them in [[Pathfinder]].
