Try getting a "Misfit Monsters Revisited" on the schedule. These can't be the only two lovable, charity-case beasties to appear in the 30 year history of D&D.
I approve this message.
What do we want? DIRE CORBIES!
When do we want it? NOW!
DOOM! DOOM!
Can we get Sally Struthers to be the spokesperson for GoFY?Absolutely not.
But, she did such great work for those Ethernopian children!

We're trying to SAVE the Flumph - not get them all eaten.But, she did such great work for those Ethernopian children!Can we get Sally Struthers to be the spokesperson for GoFY?Absolutely not.
Ohhhh! This isn't for Gooey Flumphs (are) Yummy? My bad--how about Wilfred Brimley, then?
Thank God that someone has finally stepped forward to protect this unfortunate species.

If Flumphs are OPL content for D&D, then they really do deserve to be brought into the world of Paizo if only for the sake of keeping that feel of Dungeons and Dragons.
D&D got silly some times, it was part of the fun. Every adventure can't be all about saving the world from certain doom! We need creatures like the humble Flumph, even if it's just in some little extra somewhere.
Is there a 3.5 Flumph though?
Yeah, but what have flumphs done for me lately?
Perhaps not you personally, but they do serve an important function!

Yes! Tim Hitchcock wrote an entire 3.5e adventure centered around them for Dungeon, entitled "Box of Flumph" in issue #118.

The first Pathfinder Chronicles Book supporting the adventure path will be the Complete Flumphs Handbook, which will provide the details of the elusive Flumph subraces, such as the Ice Flumph, the Fire Flumph, and the always popular, Wood Flumph.
You forgot about the Dire Flumph, the Giant Flumph, the Grim Flumph & the Cave Flumph.

Remember to "spoilerize" such things!
Too many body parts and conflicting commands to bite them...but I stand by my position.
I guess we do different things with our badgers... :S
Flumph not, that ye be not flumphed.
Must...resist...temptation...to...buy...flumph shirt.
Whenever my players start to get too big for their britches, I threaten to bring in a flumph blackguard to put them in their place. Now that this thread is here, I may just have to make an NPC statblock for it.
Thanks to Erik's post, I'm awash in a sea of nostalgia--or whatever that stuff that fills the space between planets is called--thinking back to my group's old Spelljammer days. It spawned one of our best at-the-table lines: "Just drop a giff on 'em." This comes up whenever there seems to be a badass enemy in a position where we aren't able to mount any effective offense against them. It stems from a long, convoluted story in a Spelljammer campaign where one guy was hogging all the action and hit a spot like that. I chimed in with "Why don't you just drop a giff on 'em?" and the guy actually took me seriously and did so...with hilarious consequences (hilarious to everyone at the table, not so funny for the poor giff).

Already been done in EN Publishing's Bride of Portable Hole: The Book of Neurotic Fantasy. Page 83 has "The Dark Flumph," a Flumph Paladin 4/Blackguard 10/Assassin 6.
Worth the price (FREE!) just for the Flumphonomicon section alone.
But they're the "Charlie's Angels" of RPGs. They can put on a swimsuit competition to raise funds to finance the anti-flumph league, and if that don't do it, they got heals and spells and stabbyness all covered.
To combat James' anti-flumph swimsuit girls I decided that the flumphs need there own swimsuit spokesman!
Italy LOVES flumph.
I hear Italy also loves women with hairy armpits. Given the original illustration of the flumph, the connection makes a bit of sense. :)
Badgers are always setting bad examples.
And this is exactly why badgers should be kept in the game.
And to derail things even more, what about the poor Al-mi'raj?

Badgers are always setting bad examples.
I respectively disagree. This was simply an example of the ingenuity of badgers. Fermenting your own alcohol in your stomach is pure genius!
Not to mention how environmentally friendly the entire situation was. No messy production facility with waste byproducts and no packaging that eventually ends up in a landfill. Heck, our badger friend even went so far as to go to a nearby highway to encourage people to drive slower and use less fossil fuels!
Could a flumph do that? Nope, a flumph in this situation would have just led to flumph use #342,657 - roadkill.
This message brought to you by BAB (Badgers Ancient Brotherhood).
Save the Flumph - AND GO FLUMPH YOURSELF!!!Carbuncles, on the other hand! Might I remind everyone of my continuing campaign to ressurect these noble beasts. Should the flumph-friendly carbuncle party be voted into office, I promise that we will seek equal rights and opportunities for all the Monsters of Suck!
Yes, I remember your proposal for the Carbuncle Revolutions Adventure Path. Let it not be said that Paizo stands in the way of publishing C.R.A.P.!
Badgers are always setting bad examples.
Not that it is of terrible importance,
but the picture in the link shows a honey-badger, they live in Africa and Asia, our European Badgers look different.And by the Way:
I support the Flumph Movement, all power to the Flumphs !
Daigle, your anti-badgerism is simply a strategic part of your opaque flumphonomics. Disgusting. Shameful.
Now, to share my favorite memory from Padre Island: Driving up and down the beach, running over flumphs who were sunning themselves with the windows rolled down so I could hear the wonderful POP! they made in death.
Badger - Yes
Carbuncle - Yes
Al-miraj - Unconvinced
Flumph - POP!
How can you not love a bunny with a unicorn horn?
Bunnies are pretty lovable, but you'll have to sell me on this monster, Taig. And by the way...I saw you putting my face in that thread where it didn't belong! Don't go trying to get me associated with more (public) guilt than I bring upon myself!
Where on Earth is my post in this thread? I posted my support for a Misfit Monsters Revisited, and especially threw my support behind my favorite misfit (which I also know James Jacobs hates), the ever-loving blue eyed dire corby. And, although I have a little "you posted here" dot on this thread, I can't see my post!
It's part of the anti-corby censorship conspiracy, I tell you!
DOOM! DOOM!

It's got a horn!
Orc: Oh, look! A cute, little, fluffy bunny. Perfect for the stewpot!
Al-Mi'raj: <Wriggles nose in distaste and leaps a mighty 3 feet in the air, skewering the orc>
Orc: Oh, I am dead! <Dies>
And, Mairkurion,
Why not just give the bunny vicious fangs that is uses to rip out throats when it leaps?
Oh yeah, I can also get on board with the dire corby...what bothers me the about it is calling it "dire".

Too many things already have fangs, and there aren't enough creatures that can skewer their opponents. Also, do we really want to invite more Monty Python quotes?
I'd prefer a dire corgi. Now that would be fearsome!

I am so very much with you on this, Demiurge! I always did like the Dire Corby and used them frequently. They would make a great candidate to go along with flumphs for the NEEDED Misfit Monsters Revisited!! Consider the Dire Corby Help, Enrichment, And Defense Society (DiCHEADS) to be a staunch ally of the GoFY movement!
And everyone should get the chance to hear Tim Hichcock explain his pitch for "Box of Flumph" at some point. It may be completely Tim's apocryphal recounting, but it is nonetheless magical!

I am signing both because I think the only LG creature in the 1E Monster Manual, by none other than E. Gary Gygax, deserves to appear in the standard-bearer of his brainchild and because I get an implicit understanding that signing this petition will get me one or all of the "Go Flumph Yourself" bumper sticker, campaign button, or tee shirt at some point down the road.
May the Flumph be with you.
Sigh.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the keeper of the Pathfinder Wiki, but the flumph was NOT in the 1E Monster Manual, and it was NOT designed by Gary Gygax.
In fact, the flumph appeared in the 1E FIEND FOLIO, and was designed by (LOL) TWO chaps named Ian McDowall and Douglas Naismith.
Ian McDowall is almost like Gary Gygax, though, in that he also invented the dakon and the guardian daemon.
So.... no.

So.... no.
Your post says "no," but you great cyclopian eye says "yes."
Here, have another beer, we can talk about the flumph some more after you drink it. I respect you, and understand that you mean it when you say "no," so let's just drink and have some fun. No pressure.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
Now please do a sexy triapheg! Or an enveloper! Why stop at the flumph? A gorbel would look pretty slinky in that sexy number, too.

In the first place, you should never let facts get in the way of a good story.
Secondly, this implies that if we can find an endorsement of flumphs by E. Gary Gygax, they're in. Our mission now is simple: We must find (or manufacture) such a document. I'm sure someone has an old Fiend Folio with Gary's wholehearted "thumbs up" scrawled on it.
(If we'd learned of this issue sooner, we could have slipped Erik Mona a few stiff drinks at PaizoCon, then snuck the flumph into his notes while he was distracted. Something like,"Put this one on the Bestiary cover" would have muddied the waters long enough to guarantee flumphs their rightful place in Golarion.)
Perhaps an extensive marketing campaign would galvanize public opinion toward this poor, maligned creature. Flumphs could be the new heralds of Abadar, guardians of his celestial vaults. After all, what's more trustworthy than a flumph?
In fact, the flumph appeared in the 1E FIEND FOLIO, and was designed by (LOL) TWO chaps named Ian McDowall and Douglas Naismith.
...
So.... no.
Well, it was the only LG creature in FF... which one could argue belies it being a "fiend."
But, I would not bother wasting ink on it... The creepy thing already has it's own site with 3.5 stats posted: http://flumph.com/flumph.html

Some stuff about the Flumph, but still refuses to give in.
The Flumph's time is here and now, oh great and terrible One-Eye.
We shall not be denied! GoFY members - their resolve is weakening, stand fast!
We shall break them yet.
GoFY has its demands you scurrilous tyrant, and you will hear them out!

Henceforth, let it be known that the quickly-gaining-in-power organization known as Go Flumph Yourself (GoFY) wishes to reach an accord with the Paizonian Dictators.
GoFY's demands are thus:
1.) That BOTH Jacobs and Mona publicly acknowledge in this thread the greatness of the Flumph.
2.) That a Paizo Blog Post entitled "The Great Flumph Accord of 2009" be posted shortly - indicating to all that Paizo has come to accept that the Flumph MUST be included in the PFRPG.
3.) That the Flumph be officially updated with PFRPG stats in said blog post mentioned above.
4.) A written promise shall be included in the aforementioned blog post that the Flumph shall appear in an official Paizo product. Said product must be specifically named and an estimated date for its release must be given. Acceptable Paizo products would include, but would not be limited to, a Pathfinder Society Scenario, A volume of the Pathfinder AP, and/or a Paizo Adventure Module.
These are our demands! You will give in, or you will succumb to the collective might of GoFY!
