The mysterious ftumphs drift through the Underdark,
propelled through the air by the jets whose sound gives
them their name. A ftumph glows faintly, reflecting
its moods in its color. Soft pink means it is amused,
deep blue is sadness, green expresses curiosity, and
crimson is anger.
Intelligent and W i se. Flumphs communicate
telepathically. Though they resemble jellyfish, flumphs
are sentient beings of great intelligence and wisdom,
possessing advanced knowledge of religion, philosophy,
mathematics, and countless other subjects.
Flumphs are sensitive to the emotional states of
nearby creatures. If a creature's thoughts suggest
goodness, a flumph seeks that creature out. When
facing creatures that exude evil, a flumph flees.
Psionic Siphons. Flumphs feed by siphoning mental
energy from psionic creatures, and they can be found
lurking near communities of mind flayers, aboleths,
githyanki, and githzerai. As passive parasites, they take
only the mental energy they need, and most creatures
feel no loss or discomfort from such feeding.
Consuming psionic energy reveals the thoughts and
emotions of the creatures on which the flumphs feed.
Since so many of those creatures are evil, ftumphs are
often subjected to thoughts, emotions, and hungers that
sicken their pure nature. When ftumphs encounter good­
hearted adventurers, they eagerly share the dark secrets
they have learned in the hopes of casting down their
evil sources of energy, even if doing so means they must
seek out new sources of nourishment.

organized groups called cloisters, within which each
