Mumblers are fungi, smaller relatives of the shrieker which inhabit similar locales. They are white puffball type mushrooms with indistinct but human-like features, making them look a bit like bald men who have been buried to their necks in the ground.

They are sensitive to light within 30' or movement within 10', which causes the to emit a low muttering, mumbling sound. This hypnotic noise will put listeners into a sort of mini-coma unless they save vs spells. This stupor will continue for 3 to 6 (1d4+2) turns.

If the mumbler is attacked it cannot defend itself, but if it is destroyed the thing will pop and the violent explosion will cause 1d12 damage to all within 10' of it.
