Perpetually ravenous, these aberrations are always seeking their next meals, ever eating but never sated. With a nominal intelligence, gibbering mouthers can understand and even speak Aklo, but they do so in an intelligible manner only rarely. Instead, their innumerable mouths constantly jabber and babble in a stream of sound that disrupts the thought patterns of other creatures in the area. Where, how, and why gibbering mouthers originated are questions without answers. They share certain similarities with the much more powerful shoggoths, leading to theories that the two creatures share an origin; less charitable scholars have suggested that the gibbering mouther is instead a mortal''s attempt to create something akin to a shoggoth—though the question of why remains unanswered. Still others believe gibbering mouthers were sent to the world by the gods as a punishment for some forgotten but surely terrible transgression. Gibbering mouthers themselves have little to say on the matter—at least, not in any sort of sense. Scholars have wasted countless hours in attempts to make sense of gibbering mouthers'' noises—studies that put researchers into danger and give results that are contradictory and confusing at best. Whatever their origin, gibbering mouthers range the entirety of Golarion. Sightings have been recorded in dungeons below ancient cities and ruins as well as many regions of the deeper Darklands layers of Sekamina and Orv. They are somewhat less common in the upper region of Nar-Voth, perhaps due to the prevalence of settlements that don''t tolerate gibbering mouthers'' presence. **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 20' hp: 120 hp_misc: null languages: - Aklo level: 5 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 2d8+5 type: piercing - formula: 1d4 type: persistent bleed damage - formula: null type: Grab name: jaws to_hit: 14 traits: - finesse name: Gibbering Mouther perception: 15 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 4d6 type: acid and burn eyes name: spittle to_hit: 14 traits: - range 30 feet saves: fort: 15 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 12 ref_misc: null will: 10 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision size: Medium skills: - bonus: 12 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 13 misc: null name: Athletics sources: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: '176' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 10 misc: null type: Land - amount: 20 misc: null type: swim spell_lists: null traits: - Aberration weaknesses: - amount: 5 misc: null type: bludgeoning
