I forgot to mention!! Male Umberhulks on average live to 50 years old, females to 75. Figured you would want to know.
I like 'em older anyway, more experience.
How long do they have to live to become "The Truly Horrid Umber Hulk"?
You seemed slightly rushed in this one, but that's fine, I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention the neogi enslaving them all the time in this one.
Wow, impressive
Thanks!
The original illustration for the "otto's Irrisistable Dance" spell was a tap-dancing Umber Hulk.

Don’t forget the guy on the right trying to stifle a laugh.
Holding fam I got you.

There, now you've got the soundtrack for it.
Wh...?
*Thank you.*
I'll leave it here for the lazy pbs.twimg.com/media/DcdR2xxV0AAU2TR.jpg
@@LFPORT Dude, you're my hero.
Party: So what are we up against?
DM: An umber hulk.
Party: OH NO!
Umber Hulk: OH YEAH!
Also the Umber Hulk (Hogan): YOUR IN FOR IT NOW BROTHER!
I'd say someone needs to get on the phone with gon and killua
*BREAKS THROUGH THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN*
One of the best descriptions I ever heard for it was this: "A three quarter ton rock drill with a bad attitude".
That is definitely accurate and highly amusing!
I do not play D&D, I know nothing about D&D lore, so every single one of your videos is a new fascinating discovery for me. These creatures are so detailed and interesting
It was these videos among others that got me into the game
You should give it a try :) there is a free Version of the PHB available (Look for "Basic Rules", in DnDbeyond for example), so the only thing you need is Friends and some dice.
DnD really is a the collaborative writing of a Story, so If you are interested in worldbuilding etc, you will Love it!
Try Baldurs gate PC game. Its a fantastic game
@@michaelpetrovich5353 yeah, especially since the third part will come out soon.
I am so hyped :D
@@aldoushuxley5953 #metoo
If you did a whole series on the creatures of the underdark, that would be awesome.
Yes!
Agreed
definitly
Just the underdark in general would be awesome!
I hope for a cloaker or hooked horror video, strange monsters that I honestly want to know more about
5:55 I mean, they have 9 INT. That's more than half my party.
I mean to be fair most creatures, including brutish ones, have less than an 8 so they're pretty smart
@@jeffg5917 average INT for a human is what, 10-12?
@@greglarson3048 Average for a Human in any stat is 10. Unless it's a PC, In which case INT averages to 8.
Same. Same.
Hulkish: very simple. Refers to everyone as “Brother.” Only inquiry ever heard by outsiders is “Whatcha gonna do?”
im dying XD
What is the reference damn it!
Glisca Radu Hulk Hogan. Lol
@@StevoM08 ah, lol OK thank you
Anomalous element in the language: the term "Slim Jim." More research required, possibly an unknown Hulkish deity, or may refer to a cultural method of execution.
"my dwarfish friend, I have seen something truly aberrant. I fell in a cave in, but survived, but down there was a dome sized cave with a weald of stone huts, bigger then any human or knife-ears housing. the strangest thing I saw was a massive dead umber hulk, a horrid one am I right?" his friend nods in approvel, "it was situated in a tower of stone and jewels, with open holes to let crystal light in. twas a stairway around a pillar till I saw the dead abomination. It was kneeling towards a opening window towards the center of the stone woods. you should get a exploring expedition going down there. I might of found something that'll tell us millions about those cruel things. I really hope."
What's this from I need more e
Wot? Is that a drizzt chapter?
@@joaogabrielguimaraesgalvao5622 Considering that grammar, I really hope not.
@@satqurI think that's an accent from the dwarfs, like the note on the phb speaking of their race, just yeirs wae to speak!
"Aye, my brethren and I will embark forthwith. We will need your guidance to the entrance you have found, you are more than welcome to join us."
My party encountered one of these when I was playing a blood cleric, whose spiritual weapon took on the shape of a sewing needle. When he landed the killing blow with that spell, he deftly sewed the umber hulk into an incredibly tight unnatural ball with its own fluids while laughing in delight. The party was more scared of the cleric than the umber hulks after that.
Lore: "The smaller set of eyes are completely black, which is a result of their usage as magical organs."
Artists: "Hmm, but what if: Pupils?"
Okay I just thought of an awesome Encounter. An Odd Red Umber Hulk bursts through the Wall and has Oh Yeah written on it’s Chest in Undercommon with Blood. Kool Aid Umber Hulk.
Or an Umber Hulk that can speak, is Green, and only knows how to say “Umber Hulk Smash”. Incredible Umber Hulk.
Or an Umber Hulk Guard who’s always sleeping on the Job and might have Narcolepsy. Slumber Hulk.
You’re Welcome everyone. I can keep going.
please do keep going
Please keep on going
An Umber Hulk who has Shadow Powers from a couple Warlock Levels. Umbral Hulk
An Umber Hulk that’s more like a Termite then a Beetle. Eats Plant Monsters like Treants and Myocinids more often then meat. Timber Hulk.
An Umber Hulk who’s obsessed with working out and getting Swole. Umber Bulk.
An Umber Hulk who’s obsessed with Destroying things and breaking Equipment. Sunder Hulk
An Umber Hulk who’s part plant and acts more passively then others. Lumber Hulk. Could switch the name with the Timber Hulk.
Again, You’re Welcome. I might be able to do more but I’m not sure about that.
Did you ever called the Truly Horrid Umber Hulks "über Hulk"?
@@hunterrhoades1813 yes. Though they have to incredibly buff, wear some sunglasses, and carry some guns.
Also Umber hulks who get struck by lightning and gain the power of a lightning bolt. Thunder Hulks.
An Umber Hulk who travels around and tries to enjoy life. Wander Hulk.
An Umber Hulk who uses a weird sword and is difficult to use in Smash Bros. Umber Shulk.
An Umber Hulk from Alice in Wonderland. Wonder Hulk.
An Umber Hulk who's incredibly clumsy and trips over there own feet. Blunder Hulk.
An Umber Hulk who Never skipped leg day. Thunder Thigh Hulk. No connection to the Thunder Hulk but they aren't mutually exclusive.
An Umber Hulk in the body of a young pickle. Cuc-Umber Hulk.
I'm on a roll today. The pun monsters keep coming
I'm playing as a Druid in my campaign, I went out of my way to fight one of these so i could make half-plate armor out of it's carapace
Same can be done for ahnkegs which are also more common on the surface.
@@ImranKhan-ty9ij those have a far weaker natural armour.v
I was thinking the same about their armour. Druids must love them xD
My Players Druid did the same recently, he was very happy.
I also did it myself in a old game the other year with a old group. I saved parts of its Carapaces and the entire party looked at me as if I was crazy.
I told the DM what I was doing with them, he understood. Many missions later and downtime passed my Monk had Umberhulk Bracers (+2), and I had a set of armor for the groups Druid.....he denied it in every sense because I had it crafted for him.
My druid got a Steelbark half plate.
It's nice knowing some wood elves sometimes.
What do they call a wood version of this monster?
A Lumber hulk
Or a version with an expanded lower back?
a Lumbar Hulk
Slow clap... slow clap... im taking both this comments to cast hideous laughter ❤️
Low intelligence? Dumber hulk
A sleeping Umber Hulk??
A Slumber Hulk.

I honestly didn't know these guys existed. I love these videos because I learn so much, and I feel like I get to add depth to my campaigns.
The second or 3rd episode of Critical Role has a really cool umberhulk encounter! you should check it out
@@OverlordKipo thanks, I'll do that after work today!
Umberhulks have been around since the dawn of time. I guess if your new to the RPG realms than incan understand you never hearing of these Cute beasts.
Yeah these guys are a classic.
@@kevynhansyn2902 Correct, I am very new to D&D! I have only just started playing as of 2019, and am dabbling in DM'ing as well. I have a lot to learn, there is so much lore in the D&D world that I am barely scratching the surface. I enjoy all of it though!
What they don't tell you: They love to say _" UMBRAHULK, SMAAASH !! "_
That sounds really cool but doesn't sound like the Hulk himself.
This is the only phrase spoken in Hulkish that can be understood by humans.
But they don't Smash, they SSLLLAASSSSSHHHHH!!
"Magically hiding one's self [...] just going invisible"
Like that would help with the tremorsense tho...levitate and a good stealth check would do you 10 times better :D
You can actually hide while in the range of a creature with Tremorsense, you just can't make any movement, at all. I have it be a hide action with disadvantage to stealth, but Umberhulks sound smart enough to guess where you were if they detect you.
@@dracosfire7247 Yeah, although you have to STOP moving somewhere and with tremorsense they can definitely pinpoint your last position. That's why I suggested levitate. But if you stop moving and create some sort of distraction that makes them think you've gone another way, that works too! With like unseen servant, magehand or just a rock thrown across the room. Just make sure your feet are firmly planted on the ground and not moving AT ALL! :D
I mean I think the best infiltration method would be the simplest, a good old polymorph
I've always thought of umber hulks and hook horrors as counterparts even though they aren't related at all beyond being subterranean and insectoid. Probably because they remind me of pinsir and heracross
You showed pictures of it, but never mentioned it... but the relationship between Umber Hulks and Neogi in the Spelljammer campaign setting.
Ah, those guys bring back the good times with Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate.
In Baldur they were a massive headache especially in early levels
Unfortunately in NWN they were quite easy to deal with, but looked amazing
In nwn they usually came to play on later levels so players were pretty well equipped by this point
And they swarmed you!
I've never played Baldurs gate. However I did grow up with baldurs gate dark alliance.
@@lattekahvi1298 ...my point exactly
@@kevynhansyn2902 ಠ_ಠ...... *Baldur's Gate PTSD intensifies*
I tamed one in my princes of the apocalypse game, his name is Alphonse and he’s a very good boi :)
These would be great for a insectaoid cult brutes or the predators for rust monsters
This would also make a good low level crypt boss
Well I'd say around 5th level characters. My group of 4 were 5th level and I threw one of these, they had a very hard time.
Kevyn Hansyn the umber hulk feels like a miniature beast from a Godzilla movie
Also:Here's a crazy encounter,a large round cave with 2 umber hulks on the ground ,a basilisk on the highground.Also the creatures are on each on different sides
@@MrSimonmshannon thanks for the idea. However its if the players are smart, they would find a way to turn the Basilisk gaze against the Umberhulks, and vice versa.
It would a party beatdown if they cant....a fun one.
Kevyn Hansyn True but,the confusing gaze would only narrowly affect the basalisk y'know with it's intelligence of 2,thou it depends if you run as a smart creature
Either way a new party would have a tough time with it especially at level 1
@@MrSimonmshannon a level 1 party would Pee their midevil trousers if they came across a Umberhulk.
As for the Gaze versus Basilisks, sure their dumb, but their still predatorial. They may just stand around and not do much, wander elsewhere, or who knows what. But we all play and run our games different, hence that's why I am a Game Master, not a Dungeon Master.
"Instead of becoming stone, you become stoned." :D
I was playing a campaign where we had to escape from the under dark and I was playing as a druid. When I play as a druid I dont use steel at all not in weapons and definitely not in armor so because of that I have to scavenge for weapons and make them from what the party kills. Well after we managed to kill an umber hulk with a rockfall and generous use of the Chain of Fireballs that we had found earlier. Well once it was dead I decided that since I need a weapon and our paladin needed armor that we should skin it. Well we did and I ended up ripping off its mandibles and making a pair of hand scythes out of them which later on ended up being rather heavily enchanted.
Finally, the D&D monster section has come back!
I've w8ted too long for this! Instant like!
I am subscribed with ALL notifications on!
I have a FEW different playlists, but one of them that I listen to to help me fall asleep is a compilation of all your “What the don’t tell you about” series... I love them and your voice is soothing to me
Can you finish the Giant videos? You did their race history, the Giant kin, and Hill Giants, what about Frost, Fire, Stone, Cloud, Storm, Titan? Patreons, if you see this, please let Rhexx know thx
I would be interested in an episode on "what you didn't know about Tieflings". Easily one of the most popular races to play as, so it would be really interesting learning about their history.
Hypothetically, a skilled illusion wizard could speak fluent hulkish.
12 year old me has PTSD from fighting these in Baldur’s Gate II
They are not so bad if you protect your party against confusion. Then they turn into hulk-ing piles of experience.
They are definitely in the top five. But I'm surprised you don't think the Illithids were the worst.
They were a nightmare plus they had their Umber Hulk slaves.
Vampires in second place
Beholders on third
Demons / Devils on fourth place.
Special mentions for Golems. The clay and Adamentium especially

But he is a special character and unique
@@michaelpetrovich5353 God! I hated that guy.
I remember when my Cleric's party fought a Truly Horrid Umber Hulk back in a 3.5 campaign. We called him Turtle... after I cast desecrate and animate dead on him.
I love your passion and detail with all of these videos. They're really fun to watch, and you do a great job with them.
You should do "What they dont tell you about Warforged" next!
Do Bunderhobbs! We need to know more about those hulking, assassin shadow frogs!
We recently recruited an umber hulk in my friend's campaign, we have named it Joaquin and I am trying to teach it morals.
0:18 Printable heroes minis! God, I love them!
Ecology of the Umber Hulk is my bible for these guys! That was back during the "armoured ape" years of the umber hulk, though; I really loved the more insectoid redesign for 3ed
Made one as a PC once... kinda. Not as a power character, but as something unique and challenging. As such, he was a mish-mash of compromises and nerfs to bring him into line with the other PCs while still remaining an umber hulk... the sole survivor of a mad neogi's umber hulk breeding experiment.
In the old Spelljammer setting for D&D, Umber Hulks were the slaves of the Neogi. I think one of the pics shown in the video as a neogi and some umber hulks.
Damn I really love your videos. The information provided completely changes how I as the Dungeon Master sees these monsters and how I can "twist" these creatures in ways that will surprise my players. Hell I envision a massive antlike colony of Umberhulks buried deep within the ground where only a small number of Umberhulks venture out to hunt all across the underdark. Could you imagine as the Party undoubtedly becomes completely lost in the winding tunnels and passages of the Underdark they spot an umberhulk only to charge into battle to find 13 in the process of dragging their pray back to the community. Or for stealthier parties they'll see a larger 16ft Umberhulk inspecting the haul of the "Hunters" and as one does not bring enough the large Umberhulk violently sends him back out to hunt. Man o man that's gonna be one hell of a "Non-Combat encounter"(depending on how suicidal your party is) or hell imagine accidently falling into their "ant-like" maze of a city and having to find your way out tense and terrifying sneaking through the tunnels only to be welcomed by the Umberhulks once the party have been caught. (I like flipping things on their head like that)
My npc butt see one these coming out the ground:
"well, guess I live on boat now.😧😐"
Daniel Magger won’t help, they may have originally come from the ocean...
Just wanted to say I love your videos. You have great tone and personality when you talk, I could listen to you anytime on any topic.
I'm very new to D&D and diving into that world brought me to your videos.
Never thought something like this would exist! I'm excited to explore the creatures of D&D through your videos. :D (easier to digest than reading through tons of text)
After binge-watching nearly all of them, I'm hoping to see you eventually cover Tieflings and Changelings! They're by far my favorite of the races~
I love Umber Hulks. I pulled a 3.5 trick on my party once and had a bunch clustered in one area. Confused them since they all knew they were solitary. Nasty suprise when they finally caught onto the Niogi slavers riding on their backs.
While playing with my party, many of the members fell into a large hole which led to an abandoned mining system. After not even a few minutes of exploring we were left to face one of these guys. When I realized what we were up against a small part of me genuinely thought my group would experience their first TPK. It took the combined force of our barbarian and Paladin to grapple the creature in order for my druid to get a lucky crit just to finish it off with his wild shape. Needless to say it was a fun experience and definitely gave the party a fun and interesting challenge
This is the definition of PTSD in Baldur's Gate II
Another thing to note. Oldschool Umberhulks were considered having permanent truesight before being tweaked to what they are now.
Thank you for mentioning the Vodyanoi! I'm designing a dungeon populated by Neogi, which Volo's Guide to Monsters describes as enslaving "umber hulks of another world". Changing it up to an enslaved Vodyanoi should be thematically appropriate and bring the CR down a bit!
Wow, I didn't know there was so much more to the umber hulk. I wonder if you could take the forearm armor and hands turn them into a glove/gauntlet then put them on a really strong party member to use as digging tools?
That sounds like a cool thing to give to players
5:56 is that my boy Scanlan Shorthalt?
The cube man himself
This is amazing!!! I have a major leg of my campaign coming up that involves Umber Hulks and their secret tunnel cities/currency and this will help a whole lot
I would love to see a: What They Don't Tell you About Kobolds -D&D
I dont even play D&D. But i love this series! Good Stuff Man!
It'd be really cool if you made a video on the Yuan-ti. There's lots of things you could talk about with them do to their different forms and those ancient temples they like to live in.
You could make video on Trolls. All I can find is that they are basically skinny ogres with ridiculous regeneration. It has been there since the first edition, being one of the most iconic monsters and have next to no known backstory and the knowledge about how their regeneration works. You have to use fire to kill it, but what about decapitation? Will each part live or even regrow the rest? If not, then how are multiheaded They seem very interesting when you know something about them since they are gient brutish humanoids with the regeneration ability of primitive sea organisms like starfishes and Cnidaria(jellyfishes, corals and hydras). I was surprised that you or any other dnd channel didnt talk about troll lore.
Nice video. The ones that cover monsters, races etc are my favourites.
6 quick tips for defeating an Umber Hulk or the "Big Bad Bugs" as the dark hunters call them:
1. Keep your distance stay in the open where they move slow and lumber.
2. They are sensitive and do not like bright light and loud sounds, vibrations.
3. Look at the feet when in close quarters and never the face of the beast.
4. They have very good armor and melee, use ranged and crack that coconut.
5. They primarily hunt for food and can be lured with bait. Who's volunteering?
6. They will also flee when heavily wounded and do not fight to the death.
"Lemme tell you sumethin', bratha!" -Umber Hulk Hogan.
Great video love the shots of the minis
I remember my first ever D&D campaign my party of 7 faced 5 Umber Hulks in this chamber that held these pillars that kept reality from collapsing. I remember my DM telling us that if one of these pillars were damaged or destroyed reality would be fucked. Luckily the pillars were unharmed and the entire party survived but man those things kicked our asses, we were all lvl 7btw
Your videos has become part of my campaign prep. Thank you so much:)
running one tonight! thank you for the help!
This got me thinking of a high-level encounter where you design a Truly Horrid Umber Hulk mother and put that in an encounter with three young Umber Hulk children, where the mother will go into a rage if one of the children is slain.
In all my years of playing dnd I’ve never encountered these,....until a week ago. I wish I had seen this sooner.
I’d really love to see a video about the Kalashtar and Quori Dream Spirits.
Would love to watch a video about Skulks (ever since the old Sentinel and Gauntlet modules).
Also more on Quasits, please!
I smell an under dark adventure idea.
Rhexx I always dig your videos man. I wanna know how much of this is your actual gleaned/learned and how much you have put out as research. Then again I'd rather believe there is someone out there that knows ALL things nerd and it would ruin the illusion. Keep doing the things!
Love the vids, realized i wasnt subscribed when i started watching this vid and did immediately! Which amused me when ya mentioned it at the end because I should have been subscribed all along!
Amazing, good info. A campaign that involved an umberhulk city and society would be crazy good but horribly hard. Especially if it involved a previously unknown umberhulk caste system and a ruler or ruling caste of some sort.
Awesome video i love just sitting there and taking in all the info
I love your profile photo!
@@BryantVonMiller ^^
@@TatsumakiShino ^_^ Fellow furry?
Had a druid PC turn himself into an Umber Hulk once to try and impress some Umber Hulk guards. The plan backfired since they pretty much knew right away that he wasn't an actual Umber Hulk. He under estimated how intelligent the creatures are. Also, the change didn't make him immune to the Umber Hulk's confusion gaze. LoL. It was a good time had by all :)
That moment your umber hulk discovers sea travel:
Plunder Hulk
Taking about an Umber Hulk society made me think about having an Umber Hulk Wizard
Wish I had your channel when I read through Drizzt 11 years ago lol
Another interesting sidenote: Umber hulks are often used as mindslaves by the Neogi, a race of interstellar slavers vaguely based on Lovecraft's Men of Leng. The Neogi use the Hulks as bodyguards and for manual labor. Perhaps a video all about them would be a good idea?
More than one Umberhulk can appear at a time while serving the Neogi.
Thats exactly what I was going to say, didn't the Neogi enslave their home world? There wasn't even a mention of them. Its also probably why they have a language, societies need language even in a basic form to survive for any length of time
0:48 Beetle Boi is dabbing at those haters doe xD
I remember first encountering these playing Wake of the Ravager. Truly beautiful deadly creatures. I hope they remained so in 5e
hell yeah! The Umber Hulk is one of my favorite monsters. This video makes them even more interesting.
Legit thought I was subscribed but wasn't! Thanks for the nudge, love your work
Just found your channel today, Haven't played dnd in a decade and this makes me miss it soo much. No one in California likes dnd
well looks like im getting into a whole nother universe of lore
I think Umberhulks just like rare metals and jewels as snacks, I played one in a monster campaign and he would regularly find rare things underground and eat it. My DM once rolled for 10kg of Mythril Ore and i gave a bit of it to the party but kept most of it for snack lol
Gonna sub. I started with your skyrim lore. Now i need more dungeons and dragons!
1st time I ran up against a Hulk was either BG1or 2 ,sorry not a huge AD&D fan but am looking forward to BG3 and love your lore vids ❤
The Umber Hulk baby is so cute!
Please do more about d&d in space. Thank you!
I'd find it unfortunate that you released this video after my players had an encounter with an Umber Hulk , but in reality they saw it and immediately shut the door to the room it was in and started running for their lives , so i guess I can still implement all of that knowledge for the next time they find one and (hopefully) fight it.
No time for that woman, Rrhexx uploaded a new dnd video
UmberHulks have an awesome representation of them in Baldurs Gate 2 Shadows of Amn. I hated! Fighting those buggers with there confuse but they were very true to form! You could even hire one in the underdark! And they came in packs of 1 to 3 I always remembered them since.
okay, okay, okay, I subscribed, been watching your videos for a while but now I just had to subscribe ;)

The vision of a U Hulk is curious. Physiologically it's like a mantid, except that the simple eyes should be responsible for distance perception, as well as focused sight (and thus probably dark vision, albeit the irl simple eyes only see in black and white anyway). The compound eyes should be able to see color, but only as a fixed lens, meaning they're great for tracking movement and situational awareness. It would be curious to see the lack of depth perception applied to a hulk with its simple, confusing eyes injured.
Also.. i would love to see molting being used in the species. Exoskeletons can't grow once hardened, so there should be a growth cycle, considering they can grow to 16ft tall as their elite form. This would mean two things; first off you would find molts around their nests, providing a slightly weaker form of their armor without having to hunt them, as well as a gradient in behavior and difficulty, as the hulk is more reclusive and mobile as a fresh molt, which would lead to a vicious and hungry hardened molt, now able to hunt and recover the nourishment that growing and persisting through the molt and hardening phase consumed. Lastly, the old molt hulk would be slower, as the next layer of exoskeleton forms under their shell, providing extra armor, but slowing them immensely.
Ugh...
I remember these tough SoBs in Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.
Even with the best stuff available to a player at that stage in the game they were a hell of a fight.
Another incredible video! Always looking forward to seeing your videos! 😁
I never knew Umber Hulks could be so versitile.
Awww yeah, bug man! I gotta get one of these for my lair, it'd fit the theme perfectly!
I imagine those compound eyes blinking like a rave party...
Last Session, my players distracted an Umberhulk by passing without a trace and throwing a goblin corpse of a cliff, making the Umberhulk follow it. Let's see, if they think of it when they leave again.
Umber hulk ridding a land shark still gives me a nightmares....
