Gibbering Walkers are horrifying relatives of the Gibbering Mouther, Howling Mouther, and Loathing. Some speculate that they are more advanced versions of such creatures, as they seem to demonstrate some vile intelligence. Their aims, however, seem to be purely animalistic- to consume and multiply.

The gibbering walker babbles incoherently from its many mouths while it can see any creature and isn't incapacitated. Each creature that starts its turn within 50 feet of the walker and can hear it gibbering must succeed on a DC 12 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 actions or bonus actions 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. Many Mouths. Any creature grappled by the gibbering walker has disadvantage on any attempts to escape the grapple. In addition, any creature that starts its turn grappled by the walker automatically takes damage as if hit by the gibbering walker's bite attack. ACTIONS Multiattack. The gibbering walker makes one bite attack, and three slashing limb attacks against different targets. Slashing Limb. Melee weapon attack: +8 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10+4) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 16) or become grappled by the gibbering walker. Bite. Melee weapon attack: +8 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d10+4) piercing damage. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 19 October 2021. Comments are closed.
