It's a flumph! The 2e artwork looked a lot better though.

>>219349

>2e

oh

i guess not then

>>219351

I believe these peaceful little guys, like the owlbear and rust monster, is based on old toys they had laying around.

>>219351

>2E

Hah, they're from the 1E Fiend Folio.

>>219348

theyre just some weird monster, having only super serious established fantasy monsters is boring

>>219375

If you are the DM, thay are so much fun to RP

Mmh, tentacules…

Man, old D&D had some really hilarious monsters.

I've seen Flumph chatter popping up a lot lately in social media and D&D memes. They were always kind of funny, but I think it's going to become a thing now. Like Storm Crow.

Obligatory:

I rolled one as a random encounter for our pirate campaign once. His name was Kreplar, and they thought he was some sort of giant jellyfish at first. He became their "guest" for awhile, and was an annoying doom prophet in a pirate ship full of weirdos. He couldn't hold his liquor well, and his alien tendancies often came out as something weird. When they were hired to transport an Elder Thing (they had a box, but didn't know what was in it,) Kreplar freaked out until they knocked him unconscious.

They tried to get rid of him multiple times, but he eventually became an ambassador for a merchant lord they were working with and he followed them around.

Every time they tried to get rid of him, he would always show up. One time, they left him in the middle of the ocean, and he floated on over to their ship (which was being attacked by enemies). The enemies were distracted by this tentacled thing floating with a lantern in its hands, that the party ninja got a chance to sneak attack the leader of the raiders.

Man, this version of the Flumph is pretty stupid. I like Paizo's "messengers of doom." that go around and try to warn people of the impending alien attacks, but wind up scaring villagers in the process.

>>219348

No, it's the greatest defender of all living things ever, because without them, the Works of H.P lovecraft would have already come to end us prematurely.

Seriously, why the fuck is there no Eldritch/Paladin/Dwarvern Defender Flumph defender class?

I want to ride around on my familiar Flumph like I'm fucking Flash, the greatest hero in the universe with 80's-90's synthwave playing as I kick Mindflayers heads in, as I wield an awesome lightsword and can smite evil, and abberations a few times per day, with additional insight and powers to let me shrug off even the most Yog-shog-el-nacht of cosmic bullshit like I'm in Bloodborne.

Hey look, it's my new homebrew.

Man now I want to have a Flumph be the instigator of my next adventure into the Underdark. I can only imagine the freakish thing worming its way out of a sewer pipe or narrow opening in front of the group

>BE NOT AFRAID SURFACE DWELLERS, YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED BELOW

>>219442

That's a pretty good hook into the Underdark honestly.

>>219442

Most Flumph encounters, traditionally, involve the party meeting them by falling on top of them to break their fall, as the Flumph finds itself inclined to do so to help out.

Have the players enter the Underdark, get buttfucked to the point of fleeing by local Drow and Mind flayer Rapesquads, have them get chased to a large leap of faith zone, they jump, meet the flumphs, pass out on their backs, and then we get the opening cutscene to the trademarked game as the flumphs fly across the vibrant and unique underdark caves and that really big water cavern thing they have will all sort of fireflies mushrooms and neat stuff going by as the players look onto one another barely conscious as they see the bizarre sight of Flumph rescue or whatever.

Actually, that would be fucking brilliant for a DLC or sequel to some D&D game or something, like a Final Fantasy Opening with Terra's theme.

So yeah, Flumph rescue, then you wake up in the secret Flumph village which acts as a hub for the players as they go out and do quests for Flumphs and whatever they find in the Underdark along the way.

Shit, that's a really fucking comfy way of doing things.

>>219461

Note that the Wolf Spider is not actually D&D: they belong to a third party.

So there's no relation to the spyder-fiends, who look just like them and are commanded by the Queen of Chaos, one of the most powerful Obyriths alive and part of the story around the Rod of Seven Parts.

Nice blog, faggot.

>orgy rules

So with at least 14 Constitution you can have a non-stop orgy with wine, women and song for TWO WEEKS.

That is partying hard on the level not meant for mortals.

>>219478

If one were to effectively look at it from a deeper perspective one could have a massive bookload of sideadventures resulting from this.

I mean, who has that much partying and sex and doesn't make freinds, connections, and disposition changes, as well as problematic illegtimate kids?

Or use all those connections, friends and kids to found your own religion/adventuring guild. It'd be like the Church of Latter-day Saint Cuthbert. You'd be a missionary, except instead of knocking on people's doors you knock them down, kill said people and take all their stuff.

>>219348

>is this thing supposed to be the flying spagetti monster?

It's the other way around. Typical, really.

I'm on the Fenoxo forums D&D party

really?

Really?

>>223020

yes. it looked like a flying jellyfish, not like an artificial pussy with straps.

>>219379

This. My campaign it's a about a planar locked world which barriers are cracking thanks to the PCs.

One of the first things that happen when planar travel becomes possible is that two flumph "researches" stumble upon the party. Hilarity ensued.
