Morlocks

Morlocks are fictional creatures from H.G. Wells' novel *The Time Machine*. They are depicted as subterranean beings who live underground, evolving into a different species over millennia. Morlocks are often described as pale, hairless, and with a somewhat mechanical appearance. They prey on the more surface-dwelling Eloi, another species in the story. The Morlocks symbolize themes of social class division and the consequences of technological advancement, illustrating how societal inequalities and industrialization can lead to starkly different evolutionary paths.
