Homebrew Flumph Species Details

• Appearance: Flumphs are saucer-shaped, about 2-3 feet in diameter and a few inches thick. They have two long, retractable eyestalks protruding from their upper surface and numerous short, acid-tipped tentacles on their underside.
• Locomotion: They float using jets of air, which produce a faint whistling or "flumph" sound that gives them their name. Their natural state is to hover a few inches off the ground, but they are vulnerable if knocked upside down (prone).
• Coloration: Flumphs glow faintly, with their colors reflecting their emotional state:
  • Pink: Amusement
  • Deep blue: Sadness
  • Green: Curiosity
  • Crimson: Anger 

• Alignment: Flumphs are almost universally Lawful Good, an extreme rarity among aberrations. They despise evil and are highly sensitive to the emotions and thoughts of nearby creatures.
• Communication: Flumphs communicate telepathically and can perceive the content of any telepathic conversation within 60 feet. They generally do not speak verbally, although some exceptional individuals have been known to do so.
• Diet and Behavior: They feed on the psionic energy of other beings, a process that is typically harmless to the source. Because many powerful psionic creatures (like mind flayers and aboleths) are evil, flumphs often overhear their dark plots. They eagerly share this information with good-aligned adventurers, seeking to thwart evil plans, even if it means finding a new food source.
• Society: They live in harmonious, leaderless communities called "cloisters," where each flumph contributes according to its abilities.
