+A '''grid xorn''', {{magenta|X}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SlashTHEM]]. The grid xorn is a [[Xorn (monster class)|xorn]] counterpart to the [[grid bug]]: it possesses the [[xorn]]'s [[Thick-skinned|thick skin]], [[metallivore]] diet and ability to [[Phasing|walk through walls]], as well as the grid bug's restrictions to movement and attacking.

Grid xorns also have [[shock resistance|shock]] and [[poison resistance]] like grid bugs.
+Grid xorns have a single weak [[bite]] attack that [[Shock|zaps]] targets, but will not affect their inventory unless the grid xorn has gained a level, and can [[Hits creatures as +x weapon|hit as +1 weapons]]. Grid xorns possess [[shock resistance]] and [[poison resistance]], also like grid bugs.
 ==Generation==

+Randomly-generated grid xorns are always hostile, and may be created in small [[group]]s.
 ==Strategy==
-Despite being much more mobile, grid xorns are as slow as regular xorns and are not much stronger than grid bugs themselves - they can be easily dispatched by all but the unluckiest starting characters.
