A Gibbering Mouther is a horrible creature seemingly drawn from a lunatic’s nightmares. It has the fluid body of an amoeba, with eyes and toothy mouths constantly appearing and disappearing all over its body.
Special Abilities
Gibbering: As soon as a mouther spots something edible, it begins a constant gibbering. All creatures (other than mouthers) within 60 feet must save vs. Paralysis or be affected as though by a confusion spell for 1d2 rounds.
Spittle: A gibbering mouther may fire a stream of spittle at one opponent within 30 feet. The mouther makes an attack against AC 10 + Dex bonus of the target; if it hits, it deals 1d4 points of acid damage, and the target must save vs. Poison or be blinded for 1d4 rounds.
Engulf: Any creature bit by 3 or more of its mouths will be engulfed on the next round. The mouther will be able to make 12 subsequent bite attacks on the engulfed creature. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing 5 points of damage with a small edged weapon such as a dagger.
