Of course it can be done!
The first steps can be found in the Flumphonomicon... Not quite a convoluted as one of BlackDirge's wonders, the Dark Flumph
The Dark Flumph
As flumphs are naturally orderly and good creatures, it was only a matter of time until even as unlikely a creature as the flumph would be tapped to become a messenger and avenger of the gods. Thus, centuries ago, deep in the underdark, did a flumph take upon the mantle of the paladin.
This flumph paladin hovered about the underdark in a divine quest for vengeance, stabbing and laying low through divine acid all those who worked evil against the word of his god. But then, something changed it. Something dark and sinister took hold of
his heart and began to gnaw at its convictions and morals. Perhaps it was the encounter with other paladins of the faith where the flumph saw them blessed
with the mightiest of holy longswords and great swords, or the sight of so knights in shining full plate…
whatever it was, it was not long thereafter that the great flumph paladin fell, and fell hard. It is said the flumph made it's own way into hell, where it fought past legions of mighty devils to seek out a powerful arch-devil. Once at the gates of this outsider's fortress, the flumph put down his weapons and sought audience with the lord of darkness.
A year later, the Dark Flumph arrived upon the prime. A sinister and twisted flumph this creature was, and it hunted down those paladins who had fought in the great battles of the underdark. Soon it amassed a small rag-tag army of followers who either were
entranced by the Dark Flumph's evil, or its very flumphness.
Now the Dark Flumph seeks out young paladins to destroy or twist, and always grows more powerful and malignant.

Hmm...
I'll give it a shot, if just for the sake of silliness. Although I am going to have a hard time equaling the masterpiece that Hell Hound posted.

I especially like the history of the poor half-illithid flumph. "A mixed expression of horror and amusement" indeed.
