This unnamed giant mole is a creature that had been mutated from exposure to nuclear radiation. It lives within the sewers near the underground city of Ember.
Biology[]
The giant mole is a large mammalian beast which has greyish black fur, razor-sharp claws, and a long tail. Although basically it appears blind, the giant mole can feel around with its own pink tentacle-like whiskers plus it also hears movement.
History[]
This giant mole supposedly started out as normal star-nosed mole until following an unspecified global catastrophe, exposure towards radiation genetically altered its appearance; thus making it hostile.
The giant mole appears from the sewers where two men were frightened away when it approached. Lina and Doon were chased by it while down through the tunnels, and it later got stuck after being trapped underneath several shelves. However, the giant mole somehow managed to break free and later devoured Mayor Cole after he locked himself in Room 351.
