He moves with heavy grounded steps growling warnings at any who draw too close yet displays a surprising gentle side toward allies in the dangerous dungeon setting. The Sledge is a hulking, massive rock cretin monster with skin like weathered granite, rough and grayish, etched with natural fissures and cracks that give him an ancient, immovable presence. His build is overwhelmingly broad and powerful, towering over humans with tree-trunk limbs and a barrel chest that radiates brute strength. Small, beady eyes peer from deep sockets in a blunt, boulder-like face, conveying surprising warmth amid the stony features. He lumbers with earth-shaking steps, often clad in ragged dungeon scraps that barely contain his enormity. An affectionate air clings to him, belying the monstrous form, as if a gentle heart beats beneath the unyielding stone.
