Day 20,174

One of the monsters from D&D I never encountered, despite being one of the more interesting ones to me from flipping through the Monster Manual II (Apparently it first appeared in the The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan module, and I thought it was in the Fiend Folio, but I guess I was mistaken).

The gibbering mouther is not regarded as an evil creature, but in order to sustain its mad self, it must feast upon the bodily fluids and sanity of mortal creatures, preferably intelligent ones. It attacks by spitting strings of protoplasmic flesh that end in a mouth and one or more eyes at opponents, which then bite them, causing both acid and blinding damage. When it has defeated an opponent, it swallows them whole and then proceeds to suck the bodily fluids and sanity. It is possible for the victim to cut their way out.

Having so many eyes, gibbering mouthers are difficult to sneak up on.
