The Smoothers spread a condition called “the disorientation” through their sewers. It is a contagious mental illness that afflicts those who come into contact with Smoother organisms. The disorientation causes confusion, disorientation, obsession with fictional conspiracy theories, and an overwhelming desire to construct strange and dangerous machines.
Any other RPG monster ideas, Frank?
But they are also gullible, and, unlike most creatures, vulnerable to ads. Advertising acts on Smoothers like a psionic ray that causes them to empty out their accounts and treasure hoards and buy stuff. (As a treasure, anyone who loses a Smoother is allowed to seize whatever treasure is in the creature’s stomach, so if you’re gullible enough to lose a Smoother a couple of times you might come out with some nice stuff.)
