I once played an evil warlock in a non evil campaign who lived in a constant state of shame and humiliation because her patron was actually a unnaturally powerful flumph who would instruct her to do good deeds and bring him shiny objects. And since she told the whole party she was actually serving an eldritch horror, she'd always panic whenever the flumph manifested itself.

1. Trust a flumph. 2. Before you drink from a fountain or pool, toss a copper coin into it. It’s a small price to pay for your life. 3. Sometimes a chest is just a chest, but don’t bet on it. 4. No one carves statues of frightened warriors. If you see one, keep your eyes closed and your ears open. 5. Don’t poke skeletons. Bludgeoning works best. 6. Keep a few gems in your pocket. A hungry Xorn is a helpful Xorn. 7. Before opening a sarcophagus, light a torch. 8. Traps mean someone wanted to keep you out. If a trap still works, that means there’s still plunder on the other side. 9. Some wards don’t follow their object. Don’t open interesting plunder until at least 100 feet away from ornate pedestals. 10. Do not trust attractive men and women in dungeons. 11. Glowing things that don’t do anything when poked with a pole, still might when poked with a finger. 12. Always wear gloves when handling strange objects. 13. Consider all objects removed from dungeons strange until proven otherwise (thoroughly) 14. Always ask permission to walk past a statue. It never hurts to be polite and it might save your life. 15. Do not kill a lich. They’ll just come back angrier. 16. You’d be surprised at how much in a dungeon is actually edible. That doesn’t make it a good idea to put anything in your mouth besides what you brought in with you. 17. Never interrupt anything willing to tell you a story. 18. Runic circles can be very good, very bad, or very boring. Unfortunately, it usually takes an intelligent being to determine this. Try to make sure your friend goes first. 19. Make offerings at any dais or altar you find and cannot identify. Unless you’re a paladin and your god is watching. 20. Always check behind tapestries and drapes. Similarly, always check beneath rugs. Do this with a 10-foot pole, in case you actually find something. 21. A spear or quarterstaff is not a proper substitute for a 10-foot pole. 22. Don’t mess with fungus. Yes, some can be eaten and most is harmless. Others eject spores that can kill you in less than a day. 23. Every adventurer should have a large towel. 24. If you find something powerful intentionally imprisoned in a dungeon, there’s probably something worse that put it there. If that thing isn’t gone, you should be.

It's kind of funny that when any D&D player is first introduced to flumphs, usually it's in some kind of "top 10 list of D&D's dumbest monsters" article mocking their strange appearance, unusual alignment and utter harmlessness, but almost always after they've spent some more time in the hobby do a complete 180 and are like "Yeah, they look ridiculous, can't fight for squat and have the alignment for squares and obnoxious paladins, THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM AWESOME!" It's why they've stuck around through so many editions of the game and they've finally been given the mascot status they deserve!

...DDO has sacred fist as a subclass of paladin with DDO paladins only being capable of being Lawful Good. Sacred fists are also implied to be kalashtar in the lore which are psionic hybrids of quori creatures and another species fused into a gestalt. So that could be transplanted in as the flumphs' bestest friends. Then there's bards who are supposed to be psionic, vicious mockery is even described as a psionic attack. So a bard could have a flumph spouse or simply be friends with one or even be the messengers and spies for the Harpers or something. Maybe a bard raised by flumphs?

We all got +1 items or equivalent for memories or mementos. The next morning, all the items disappeared and were apparently illusions. We got scammed and the DM said “don’t trust strangers in the underdark”. Needless to say, that was my first and last session with that guy.

One of my players had a backstory of being stranded on a strange alien world and was aided by a local population of Flumphs. His wild magic powers actually summoned some to the game at one point and he roleplayed speaking to them in a fart language.

Totally going to use a flumph as a quest giver for a heist-style adventure. If the players are low level, give them a perfectly laid out, step-by-step plan of how to make this work, then watch the plan fall apart as the dice and player instinct kick in and throw it all into chaos. Hopefully they all survive.

I really needed a theme for the next dungeon I'd run my players through, now they get to encounter an NPC they needed to save who is instead surrounded by flumphs that kept him safe and will warn the players of psionic threats ahead should they dare delve deeper into the ruins. Thanks Runesmith!

Fun campaign ideas: If Flumphs feed on the emanations of Mind Flayers and Aboleths what would you expect to find in any town infestated by Flumphs? Expect torches, pitchforks and purges when your neighbors see Flumphs floating in. There's a lot of other fun twists you could include: 1) There is actually a Mind Flayer/Aboleth below the town, and you should be afraid. 2) There is not actually any Mind Flayers/Aboleths beneath the city, and you should be afraid. Who/What drove the Flumphs to your village, and why do they want you all dead? 3) There are TWO colonies of Mind Flayers nearby, and one of them is herding Flumphs to draw attention to their rivals. The Flumph-herders want the town that serves as a food source for their rivals burned/purged, and filled with heroes. 4) There is an invasion incoming, and only an elaborate deception plan will allow your King to beat the invaders. The Flumph infestation results in telepaths broadcasting everybody's thoughts and secrets with no filter. If the King wants to stop the invasion, he needs the Flumphs gone by any means necessary. The Flumphs, however, are the only thing folding back the Mind Flayer colony below town. 5) Imagine a Kingdom that reveres Flumphs, and takes their advice on everything. Now imagine a Flumph with Alzheimers, or schizophrenia. Imagine a FLumph ith food-poisoning from the thoughts of a diseased Mind Flayer. Imagine a Flumph who is hallucinating, due to the magic of some manipulative wizard. Even more fun, imagine a Flumph who is possessed.

I love playing Flumphs, but I hate that I butcher there gimmick. I was running a spell jamming campaign and the party had one. His name was Flumpy and he was a reoccurring character from an old campaign. The few players that knew him forgot that he was killed by undead at one point and was resurrected so when he ignored one of our party members who is a dhampir. It was meant to be a cute playful thing, but everyone just assumed Flumphs hated elves despite there being multiple elves that he was fine with and honestly that’s one of my biggest regrets as a DM. I’m sorry I ruined these wholesome creatures.

I have a head cannon (cannon in all my games) that flumphs team up with deep gnomes a lot, and that they will work with deep gnomes to find psionic oozes to contain, feed like a pet, and then feed off of in a safe, sustainable manner. Deep gnomes will even pay for the safe capture of psionic oozes for this reason, as Flumps will, in turn, inform deep gnomes of threats and plots.

Once my party summoned three flumps on an elevator because of our wild magic sorcerer and they had a gore battle between who could annihilate the flumps in the rawest way possible. The tabaxi just started mauling one to death, the PALADIN, yes, the paladin, threw a spear at the wall piercing one of them, meanwhile the sorcerer put the other in a bag and started cooking it on a slow cooker he had. (they were sort of stuck in the elevator, so they had time). Meanwhile the druid and other sorcerer (not wild magic) watched in horror trying to stop the boys from doing what they were doing but failed miserably and ended up watching the whole situation tied up.

I had a party with some murder hobos in it and wanted them to stop killing anything that was even slightly non humanoid. Long story short, they ended up in a drunken cave system full of Flumphs. A couple players started killing a few after some snarky dialogue, and then after all the flumphs had run off or died, turns out the flumphs were feeding on the thoughts and feelings Kua-Toa that were down there. A new evil god of the ocean was raised from a dragon turtle corpse, and the simple go clear a cave mission got ALOT harder.
