Eye Rays (Su) As a free action, a gibbering orb can emit colorful beams from its eyes. Collectively, these eye rays duplicate the effects of a prismatic spray spell (CL 20th, DC 28). The gibbering orb must succeed on a ray attack (ranged touch +30) against each creature in the area of this effect or that creature is unaffected. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Gibbering (Su) As a free action, a gibbering orb can emit a cacophony of maddening sound. All creatures within 60 feet that hear this gibbering must succeed on a DC 28 Will save or be permanently confused, as if affected by an insanity spell. This is a sonic mind-affecting compulsion insanity effect. A creature that saves cannot be affected by the same orb's gibbering for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Ground Manipulation (Su) At will as a standard action, a dark heart of the earth can cause terrain made of stone and earth to grow soft and muddy. This affects all such terrain within a 120-foot radius for a duration of 1 minute. A gibbering orb or gibbering mouther can move through these areas with ease, but other creatures treat them as difficult terrain.

Hostile Blood (Su) As an immediate action, whenever a dark heart of the earth is hit with a piercing or slashing weapon, the dark heart may choose to shed blood that transforms into a gibbering mouther. Doing so deals 46 points of untyped damage to the dark heart of the earth and causes a gibbering mouther appears in anywhere within the dark heart's space. (The gibbering mouther falls if it doesn't appear on a surface that can support its weight.)

Vulnerable to Sunlight (Ex) If a dark heart of the earth enters an area of direct sunlight, it is staggered for 1 round. If the dark heart of the earth remains in direct sunlight at the end of that duration, it dies and its remains crumble to dust.
