yeet

I thought this was an Underdark monster, but I was making an encounter with one, and it didn't appear in the Underdark monsters section.

I would all it up just a little in one stat: give the nothic a deception +5.  While encountering a party it could roll "weird insight" but is really rolling deception and tells the wizard that the rogue took his precious gem and does discord.  This would also make them much more interesting spies.

you can post things without paying?

Yes, you can. But you can't use any homebrew from other people (which really sucks in my opinion).

Got to guest RP this as an NPC for my buddy running the Lost Mines. What a treat, such a great character and super fun to RP. "Always hungry never full, always watching never done! HAHAHA!!!"

Just met one I became it's friend 😁 I fed it 3 bodies I was very lucky and very close to death

I came to this comment section in hopes of finding exactly a comment like this. Thank you XD

This killed my grandma when she played dnd for the first time.

I’ve  have just encountered a nothic and one of my friends may or may not get brainwashed by weird insight. How should we fight it?

Out of all the names, why.

It doesn't appear to have any environmental tags

Well, we just had a campaign where our party's attempt to trick a Nothic failed because it learned our intent through Weird Insight. It's always dependent on how the encounter plays out.

@ Nsio_Zamek.. as a huge fan of disney and moster's inc/university were especially favorites of mine, i just laughed Way to Hard at this comment :-P 

Are these things telepaths, it doesn't look it to me other than the one spell? Our DM insisted he was following the guide in mines of phandelver but he had this talking in our heads so we couldn't fond it and it took us about a dozen perception rolls to be able to see it once even though we all had dark vision. He also made us roll a 20 perception to find a chest in the crevasse, is it really set that high on a starter campaign or was he messing us around? 

I'm going to use these as what happens to Great Old One warlocks if they slip up and draw the attention of their patron

Our Party found one of these in our game. My character is bordering on evil after spending time with a ruffian that the DM named Jeremy. Jeremy was taken off my wizard Pablo. Not being happy with this decision Pablo has taken the Nothic under his wing for 3 days. On the third day it has permission to eat and kill Jeremy. These events are still in play and will update when done.*Update Pablo died.

I'm imagining a corrupt magocracy that trains/employs these as a secret police...

Would probably make good scouts/infiltrators for an army that can gain their service too.

I once had a party who befriended one of these guys, it was all fun and games until they convinced it to help them clean out a bandit den and it started eating people.

 RAW, the only language it can actually speak is Undercommon, which implies to me that they live in and/or around the Underdark as a rule of thumb. If they don't, then they would certainly know how to get there.
