    The real question is... When a mouther splits... Do the souls split apart with it? Or do they split in tact? Are mouthers full mixtures of souls, or more like stitched together souls that they can pull apart? My boy John is already forever insane because of being liquified into this thing, but just imagine how worse it would feel feeling your actual soul being ripped into shreds because this thing reproduced another.

    I've been using those in a campaign. Tweaked their gibbering a bit, adding words or short phrases foreshadowing the return of an ancient being (Fhtagn!) . Then I tweaked them again because one of the players used a spell to understand languages, and while I said it was mostly gibberish, I did say he would identify parts of chants to an ancient deity no longer revered, in a dead language. Then the players wanted to see if they could identify some hidden communication (I made a cult that was trying to get a shared consciousness, so they wanted to identify that). We rolled dices (I let a lot of decisions to the dices when the players come up with some unique idea) and the dices said yes... so they started using mouthers as a way to spy the Cult... You would never believe how this progressed... I already liked a lot of your other videos and a lot of the lore presented in them aligned so well with the campaign that I refer to them often. Just subscribed. Don't know why I hadn't.

    “They didn’t originate from the Far Realm and were created by sorcery” this is only half true in the Forgotten Realms and harkens back to basically a single footnote from _Empires of the Shining Sea. The Gates of Firestorm Peak_ written for the Greyhawk/universal setting asserts that they are Far Realm creatures and as far as I’m concerned that’s canon because it features the Vast Gate which is also mentioned in the Forgotten Realms explanation as to how the Kaorti came into the world from the Far Realm in _Dragon Magazine 358._ 5e really just likes to pick and choose what’s canon and what’s not regardless of what has more merit doesn’t it?

      As 'eclecticbibliophile' alludes to, 5e tends to leave things open to interpretation by the DM mostly instead of telling the DM how they should run things. If they simply say "they were created by sorcery drawing from the Far Realm", then WoTC thinks this would stiffle many DM's creativity and such.
      Mr. Rhexx's videos are about telling us the viewers how past editions and D&D media have portrayed these creatures, races, civilizations, etc. Sometimes he expresses his opinion on what he'd do or view things, but everything is up to a DM to decide anyway. 😅

It can turn a large area of the ground around it into that doughy rough terrain, and the maddening voices have new effects and higher DC. (Instead of just Confusion, give it Antipathy/Sympathy, Dissonant Whispers, and Tashas Hideous Laughter.. And if you want to be particularly mean, give it Phantasmal Force and Phantasmal Killer or even Weird)
    And of course give it some level of insane intelligence. It could communicate with the players through Magic Mouth spells that they find all over the place. Maybe even use insanity optional rules for the whole adventure.

    A small campaign idea free to use
    A gladiatorial campaign for orcs, goblin kids , lizard folk, kobolds and others, you are prisoners on the Arena and the Guard take you to a sewer entrance , they tell you that the winner of the battle will be free, but they must travel to the arena through the maze first finding the weapons they will use, once inside the sewer the party will notice how polished and clean the walls are , in the sewer the party will find Oozes, gelatinous cubes, mimics and gibbering mouther. Thus making a maze made to slowly eat the party

What the fuck! Being able to control the body is easy but why the fuck is stopping you morons from screaming so hard?! Ugh stop! You are distracting me!"
      Turning the corner you see it..the huge abomination..mouths screaming constantly yet all the eyes seem to be focused down onto the book on the ground seemingly reading. A single mouth away from the others right below the eyes sighing deeply as one eye turn in your direction "Oh god no! Fucking get out of here! I don't need more screaming mouths! Piss off!"
