b'Gibbering Mouther, Common \n'b'  Family:   Gibbering Mouther  \n'b'  Medium   ravager  (devastation),  chaotic evil or unaligned  \n'b'  Armor Class  9  Hit Points  67 (9d8 + 27);  Wound Threshold  17  Speed  10 ft., swim 10 ft.\n'b' STATS STR: 10 (+0) DEX:  8 (-1)  CON:  16 (+3)  INT:  3 (+4)  WIS:  10 (+0)  CHA:  6 (-4)  \n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'  Condition Immunities   grappled ,  prone ,  restrained   Senses   darkvision  60 ft., tremorsense 60 ft., passive  Perception  10  Languages  Phantasm  Challenge  2 (450 XP) \n'b' SPECIAL TRAITS \n'b'\n'b'  Aberrant Ground . The ground in a 10-foot radius around the common mouther is doughlike  difficult terrain . Each creature that starts its turn in that area must succeed on a DC 13  Strength  saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. \n'b'  Corrosive Fluids . After dealing a Wound or a critical hit to the common mouther, the weapon used is covered in corrosive fluids. Any non-magical weapon or armor under this effect, and which is not protected by an appropriate forging technique (such as dwarven forging), becomes fragile (see Adventurers, Equipment, Armory: Damaged Weapons and Armor). \n'b'  Gibbering . The common mouther babbles incoherently while it can see any creature and isn\xe2\x80\x99t  incapacitated . Each creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the common mouther and can hear the gibbering must succeed on a DC 10  Wisdom  saving throw. On a failure, the creature can\xe2\x80\x99t take  reactions  until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during its turn. \n'b'\n'b' d8 \n'b' Effect \n'b'\n'b' 1 to 4 \n'b' The creature does nothing. \n'b'\n'b' 5 to 6 \n'b' The creature takes no action or bonus action and uses all its movement to move in a randomly determined direction. \n'b'\n'b' 7 to 8 \n'b' The creature makes a  melee attack  against a randomly determined creature within its reach or does nothing if it can\xe2\x80\x99t make such an  attack . \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The common  gibbering mouther  makes one bite  attack  and, if it can, uses its Blinding Spittle. \n'b'  Bite .  Melee Weapon Attack : +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.  Hit : 17 (5d6) piercing damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 10  Strength  saving throw or be knocked  prone . \n'b'  Blinding Spittle (Recharge 5-6) . The common mouther spits a chemical glob at a point it can see within 15 feet of it. The glob explodes in a blinding flash of light on impact. Each creature within 5 feet of the flash must succeed on a DC 13  Dexterity  saving throw or be  blinded  until the end of the mouther\xe2\x80\x99s next turn. \n'b'  Voracious Ingestion . A Small or smaller creature within 5 feet of the common mouther must succeed on a DC 13  Dexterity  saving throw or be  grappled  (escape DC 10). Until this grapple ends, the creature is also  restrained , and the common mouther can\xe2\x80\x99t ingest another target. In addition, the creature takes 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage at the end of each of the mouther\xe2\x80\x99s turns. If a creature takes damage this way, apply the Corrosive Fluids effect to its armor. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' The gibbering mouther is an animated, autonomous, Cankerous growth, capable of merging back into the morbid mass from which it came. It perpetually conjures ephemeral eyes, mouths, or other organs according to its immediate needs. \n'b' These creatures appear to be a large glob of animated mucus, dripping goo as they wander. Around them, the ground appears to be moving and reality, distorted. This effect is linked to the profound reality of Canker and its world-changing aspect-dissolving, deconstructing, and, finally, recomposing. \n'b' A gibbering mouther\xe2\x80\x99s maximum size depends on that of the metastasis which gave birth to it. The most common ones, closer to the surface, can only generate medium sized gibbering mouthers; older, deeper ones can create monsters that are much larger and stronger, more dangerous and resilient. The gibbering mouther is a guardian dedicated to protecting the nest, and especially its vile heart: the beating growth. \n'b' The Devouring Horror \n'b' If you use this option, the gibbering mouther\xe2\x80\x99s Voracious Ingestion is more dangerous and gains the following special features: \n'b' If a creature  grappled  by a gibbering mouther does not use its action to escape, it takes an additional 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage, which is added to the other damage. \n'b' Wounds inflicted by Voracious Ingestion translate as complex fractures that render the affected limbs useless. If a leg were grabbed, it would appear almost crushed. \n'b' If the common gibbering mouther reduces a creature to  0 hit points , it can use Voracious Ingestion as a bonus action. When Voracious Ingestion is used on a creature that has dropped to  0 hit points , the body is destroyed in 3 rounds and can only be brought back to life by the  true resurrection  or  wish  spells.'
