Woeful Wail. The mouther emits a sorrowful cry while it can see any creature and isn’t incapacitated. Each creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the mouther and can hear the gibbering must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during its turn. On a 1 to 4, the creature does nothing. On a 5 or 6, the creature takes no action or bonus action and uses all its movement to move in a randomly determined direction. On a 7 or 8, the creature makes a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach or does nothing if it can’t make such an attack.
Powerful Ageing. The creature increases in size and power as it ages, and through the volume of bodies they consume over time. Once consumed, the eyes and mouths of the Carrion Creature’s victims will boil to the surface, and their voice joins the cacophony.
The amount of bodies consumed into the creature’s form somewhat correlates to it’s power and abilities. Once enough have been absorbed, it is classed as an Elder Carrion Creature. The elder’s abilities are more on par with a true Gibbering Mouther.
Multiattack. The gibbering mouther makes one bite attack and, if it can, uses its Blinding Spittle.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 17 (5d6) piercing damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 10 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is killed by this damage, it is absorbed into the mouther.
Blinding Spittle (Recharge 5–6). The mouther spits a chemical glob at a point it can see within 15 feet of it. The glob explodes in a blinding flash of light on impact. Each creature within 5 feet of the flash must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded until the end of the mouther’s next turn.
Description
Where gibbering mouthers are created through foul sorcery to serve as little more than tower guard dogs, the Carrion Curse was first created as a way to covertly destroy organisations from the inside out.
This aberration is borne from the body of a creature with the curse laid upon it, the transformation slowly eating away at their mind until they become naught but a mindless creature consumed by a desire to consume.
The Carrion Creature has very limited physical and mental awareness once in this form, and it’s sentience fades over time.
The carrion cursed form is an abomination of flesh and matter from the destruction and reformation of the victim’s body. Gelatinous flesh covered in a layer of stinking ooze, small puffs of an acrid smoke perpetually rising from it’s surface. Bloodshot eyes, elongated yellowed teeth, and the ever-present, blood-curdling noises of pain, agony and confusion that pour from the victim’s mouth to lure in prey.
The Carrion Creature’s gelatinous body has no limbs, but can form tendrils of flesh that lash out to attempt to grapple any near enough to it and drag them into it’s form.
