	Gibberlings require a prodigious amount of food to support their manic nocturnal existence, stripping to the bone anyone or anything that should fall in their path. Their fur is commonly infested with lice and other pests picked up during their burrowed slumber. Their hides are vile and worthless. Gibberlings carry no treasure or other useful items. Their swords are of the commonest variety, with no markings or decoration, and are often pitted and dull. In short, gibberlings serve no purpose and no known master, save random death in the night.

	In the original 2nd Edition Monster Manual, it was left unclear how or when or even if gibberlings procreate. The mysteries of gibberling reproduction were revealed in the module ~~The~~ Gates of Firestorm Peak~~. The module mentioned~~ a second form called the brood gibberling, which gives birth to larvae called gibberslugs, which writhe beneath the skin of the brood gibberling. They are injected into the flesh of anyone the brood gibberling bites, including other gibberlings. ~~The~~ slugs then grow steadily and consume the body of their host from the inside, eventually bursting out through the skin. A brood gibberling can actually control those it has created, leading to the development of "clans" of the monsters.		In the original 2nd Edition Monster Manual, it was left unclear how or when or even if gibberlings procreate. The mysteries of gibberling reproduction were revealed in the module [[Gates of Firestorm Peak]], which revealed a second form called the '''brood gibberling''', which gives birth to larvae called '''gibberslugs''', which writhe beneath the skin of the brood gibberling. They are injected into the flesh of anyone the brood gibberling bites, including other gibberlings - it can also spit them at victims and let the slugs burrow inside on contact. Unless purged with fire or by eating a Far Realm-touched mushroom called ''Darkscape'', the slugs then grow steadily and consume the body of their host from the inside, eventually bursting out through the skin as a full formed gibberling. A brood gibberling can actually control those it has created, leading to the development of "clans" of the monsters.

	'''Gibberlings''' are a degenerate species of deformed, pale, ape-like humanoids found in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They are one of the game's various homages to [[H.P. Lovecraft]], being essentially expies of the Martense family, the xenophobia-degenerated clan from his short story "The Lurking ~~Horror~~". They first appeared in the original [[Fiend Folio]] for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition, a creation of a guy known only as "Underworld Oracle". They received a 2e update in the Monstrous Compendium Fiend Folio Appendix, which was reprinted in the Monstrous Manual, and were then reprinted for the [[Forgotten Realms]].
