It looks so happy. Another great artwork from the Monster Manual. This is shaping up to be one of my favorite monster book.

Small size and  1/8 CR.  I think this will be a good familiar.

You get a flumph, Mechagamera!

 

You get a flumph, malisteen!

 

You get a flumph, Mecheon!

 

You get no flumph, MightyZehir. Maybe next time.

 

I'm the first poster in this thread without an M name.

And that means you get a swarm of Flumphs, be careful I hear they breed like tribbles!

Why is the flying sphegetti monster called a flumph?

Because the FSM is their God, and they were made in his noodly image.

What's so special about the Flumph?

I'm just going to wait while people in the know stare at me like I'm an ettin. Go on. I'm patient.

 

But seriously...what's up with this creature that some are ecstatic to see it included?

I don't rightly know, either--I have limited experience with 2E, mostly played 3/3.5E and 4E, and so have no personal experience with flumphs. However, after reading the description, I know the perfect way to add it to my next campaign, and am actually a little excited to do so.

D&D has got lots of creatures could be used for a collectabling battling arena monster like Pokemon or Digimon. 

 

How would be a flumph symbiont? I would like a module about biopunk grafts.

Chain warlocks are allowed to choose other creatures as their familiars. I would allow one to choose a flumph.

Do they still have the backstory that they are defenders against cthulhu'ian forces?

Actually the Flumph are the deities of the FSM. The FSM was made in their image. For those not in the know the flumph was originally presented in a Dragon magazine article as part of an April Fools list of monsters, many of which got added to books later because they became so popular. The wolf-in-sheeps-clothing (can't recall it's actual name, but it looked like a tree stump with a rabbit on top of it but was actually a carnivorous creature that used the "rabbit" lure to draw prey close to it) was another that caught on from that article. These predate the FSM by about 20 years.

Wow, they actually made flumph interesting! These guys have been a running joke since they appeared in the 1e Fiend Folio—they're LG floating pancakes with eye stalks and tentacles. You gotta love 'em.

What do you call a group of Flumphs? A swarm? A gaggle? A pod?
