Monster: Gibbering Mouther

Monster: Gibbering Mouther

The gibbering mouther is an amorphous mass of mouths and eyes. It can use only six mouths at the same time, and can create protoplasmic manipulators to push objects (hence No Fine Manipulators, not No Manipulators). It can spit acid, soften earth, confuse creatures with its gibbering, and attack six times per second. It has so many eyes that it effectively has Injury Tolerance (No Eyes).

    Sharp Teeth (12): thrust 1d+1 cutting (KYOS: 2d cutting), Reach C.
    Blood Drain: The gibbering mouther can drain the victim’s life if the victim is helpless (pinned, stunned, unconscious, etc.), grappled, or willing. If he is wearing armor, the gibbering mouther’s biting damage must penetrate its DR. Once the gibbering mouther has bitten through the victim’s DR, it can drain 1 HP per second from him. For every 3 HP stolen, the gibbering mouther heals 1 HP or 1 FP (its choice). It cannot raise its HP or FP above normal this way.
    Spit Acid (12): 1d-1 corrosion. Ranged attack (Acc 3, Range 10), costs 1 FP.
    Gibbering: As soon as a mouther spots something edible, it begins a constant gibbering. When a creature hears this gibbering, it must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
    Ground Manipulation: A gibbering mouther can cause stone and earth in a 4-yard radius around it to become a morass akin to quicksand. This requires a Concentrate maneuver and costs 1 FP. Mired creatures are grappled with ST 12. Their only way to free themselves is to break free with a successful Quick Contest of ST. Softening stone requires two consecutive Concentrate maneuvers. This effect persists for 10 seconds.
