Those crazy bastards included it in the 5e Monster Manual!  |

Count me in as a 5E fan.
This is worth the 50$ price tag, right there.

Only real flaw in the book. Okay, I can see your issue with the original version as it's objectively* a pretty useless monster, but what about the 5e version could possibly be causing you so much blockage? Is it the name? Is it the resemblance to the jellyfish? What, man, what?! *saunatonttu |

The look, the name, the fact its stupid as shit. The new image also looks like into tentacle porn. I will say however that the fluff is not as bad as the old fluff.

 It might be just me, but the artwork in this older image makes it look far more......I don't know...."acceptable" in some way than the new 5E art. Can't recall exactly where it came from, but if memory serves, it was in some Monstrous Compendium Annual. I don't have any negative opinion of Flumphs at all, but that 5E illustrations makes me roll my eyes a little. Looks like a puppet you'd see on a morning kid's show. |

It was Volume two. It still looks bad, but not as goofy as the 5e one.

How can you not like it? This artwork boldly, unapologetically aims for the absurd and downright adorable, a look of childlike bewilderment in its googly eyes, air-hole and pudgy little tentacles. Seizing everything that made the Flumph the butt of jokes and running with it, the book basically paints them as the sweetest, saddest and most innocent denizens of the underdark, gentle beings horrified and sickened by the very thought processes of evil beings - which, unfortunately, they have little choice but to endure, because Flumphs are not only psychic, but feed on the thoughts of other psychic monsters, and they don't have a whole lot of non-evil food sources in the underdark. Like mental bedbugs, they constantly hide from their own hosts, including the nightmarish aboleths and brain-eating illithids. This is, I do believe, an entirely new addition to Flumph lore, and it couldn't be more perfect. You can now befriend the lovable, tentacled parasites of maniacal, tentacled abominations. Absolutely amazing.

But how many of you have had a game setting were nomadic halflings hunt herds of Flumps riding on flail snails?
