The Morlocks

The Morlocks are fictional beings from H.G. Wells’ novel "The Time Machine." They are subterranean creatures that live underground, often in dark, damp tunnels below the Earth's surface. Over time, they have evolved into a different species from humans, feeding on the Eloi, the surface-dwelling inhabitants. The Morlocks are portrayed as more industrious and aggressive, contrasting with the naive and passive Eloi. Their existence highlights themes of social inequality and decay, illustrating a future where humans have diverged into separate, distinct species due to environmental and societal changes.
