So, I love flumphs. How could you not? Friendly floating flattened space octopus? It's great! That 1 CR is a killer, though. I want my flumphs (or at least one or two of them) to head out with a party of adventurers slaying dragons. The solution: Class levels! The question: What levels would a flumph take? (I'm certainly not adverse to throwing the flumph some ability score increases ala PCs, if necessary)
Cleric is an easy one. Wisdom's good and they could
Sorcerer I like for flavor reasons. Mostly because a flumph accessing its aberrant nature to fight evil seems just swell to me.
Rogue? Imagine getting sneak attacked by one of those nasty poison stingers. Ouch!
So, what say you? How would a flumph level up, for the purposes of minmaxing, role playing, and/or goofy flumph heroing? Discuss!
Edit: And don't think that I don't understand flumphs are supposed to be goofy little advisors and guides. I'm all for that. But I would like the occasional flumph to be unsatisfied with sitting and watching while others go about saving the day. Then he pursues the art of magusry and eventually defeats the grave knight half-fiend antipaladin overlord on the world's highest peak as their armies watch in silent anticipation.

What about a Druid so you can wildshape into other forms? Keep the PCs guessing what the heck you really are?
Sad thing is my group would probably kill a Flumph on sight because of how scary and beholderish it looks (although we are mature now these days I do not think we would start a fight with one at first).
We once killed a Unicorn years ago because it was Black.. and we thought it might have been a nightmare.... ohhh we had to pay for that bigtime (it was a Forgotten Realms campaign)

There is a Bard template in the ARG that sorta fits the concept, but it's for gnomes. Prankster.
The bit about a Flumph being a Paladin really got me laughing. I am SO trying to imagine one trying to be heroic and macho with that squeaky voice and total lack of Strength and size, but epic failing....

You know, I had just recently looking for an abberation to be encountered with a mimic and some animated objects (advanced to CR 15 and 16, respectively-- LVL 16 Party) and ended up settling on a flumph. I liked their abilities and thought they wouldn't be too deadly in addition to the other critters.
I really should have looked at their alignment and fluff! I'm totally going to give the flumph some class levels and make him an NPC to help the party in the Darklands for a bit. I like the idea of Oracle...
