| Description | This amorphous aberration consists of a large blob of pink, scabby flesh saturated with dozens of toothy mouths and bloodshot eyes. The creature shambles about, staring in all directions at once and uttering a non-stop litany of curses, disturbingly violent imagery and terrible dark secrets. | | Description | This amorphous aberration consists of a large blob of pink, scabby flesh saturated with dozens of toothy mouths and bloodshot eyes.

: First and foremost, the gibbering mouther is completely insane. It has little in the way of motives, but finds sentient creatures interesting enough to pay attention to them, much to their deep chagrin. Little is known about how gibbering mouthers came to be, why they exist, how they breed, what they eat, or really anything about their ecology. They are genuinely alien in these regards, requiring no apparent sustenance, and no evidence of young gibbering mouthers to imply some sort of reproductive cycle. Yet their species can be found in dungeons, sewers, and other humid, enclosed areas, though they've been known to wander into surprising places, like public bath houses, as well. | : First and foremost, the gibbering mouther is completely insane.

That creature must make a Will save, DC {{Save-DC}}, or become [[Disoriented]] until the end of the encounter. The target doesn't need to share any language with the gibbering mouther, as the words make perfect sense to the target (to anyone nearby, they are nonsense, probably). This is NOT a fear effect. | ||
