 A '''gibberling''', {{monsym|gibberling}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. The gibbering is an [[omnivorous]] [[Human or elf|human]] creature that can be seen via [[infravision]], and will pick up and collect weapons, food and other items. As [[Human (monster attribute)|humans]], gibberlings cannot be made [[tame]] normally, and they can also turn [[traitor]] even if tamed through other means.{{refsrc|dog.c|906|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}}

-The '''gibberling''' is a monster added in [[SLASH'EM]]. They are remarkable for appearing in very large groups, but are otherwise weak and likely will not be a large threat as they can only be generated in [[Gehennom]].
+A gibberling has a single weapon attack.
-Take note however, that eating a gibberling as a human, is considered [[cannibalism]].
+==Generation==
 ==Origin==
-Yet another monster borrowed from [[Dungeons and Dragons]], they look simian with pointed ears. They are primitive and have no language.
+The gibberlings of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' are portrayed similar to the Martenses, and are generally depicted as pale, hunchbacked and unclothed humanoids: they have pointed canine-like ears, manes of black hair that surround hideous grinning faces, black "maniacal" eyes, and overly long arms which they sometimes used while walking. Gibberlings primarily inhabit temperate forests and the Underdark, and are carnivores that eat any and all food, including their own dead, in large quantities.
-==See also==
+Gibberlings are invariably social creatures that have some primitive language amongst themselves, and always live in hordes of up to 400 individuals, with no apparent organization, structure or even a sense of individuality among them&mdash;though not truly malicious, they are wild and manic in behavior and are typically first seen as large, writhing masses of dark fur and flesh. Surface gibberlings are strictly nocturnal, digging short burrows to hide and remain dormant in until the sun went down, at which point they awoke all at once and suddenly.
-==Encyclopedia==
+An individual gibberling is not very strong, but groups of them work well together: they attack wildly and rush opponents in great numbers, preferring to grapple them or hack them apart with short swords; they are immune to all mind-influencing effects, including charm, phantasms, and compulsions; and their incessant muttering and gibbering tends to scare people and beasts alike, though the noise also means that they rarely surprised anyone. However, gibberlings are terrified of bright light and fire to the point that they would not fight during the day even if awoken, and were so vulnerable that their hordes could be reliably driven away using both. Groups of gibberlings often fight to the death and do not ever retreat, and tend to wreck any buildings or structures that they can find.
