The Illithids, also known as Mindflayers, is a subterranean evil race feared for their extremely powerful mental abilities. They feed on the brain of their victims to replenish themselves, sucking it directly from the body. A non-illithid captured by the species that isn't used for food ends up a slave, mentally dominated by the mindflayer's powerful mental abilities. The illithid has no equal with spell mental drain casting it fastest and inflicting most damage with it. They stand about 6 feet tall and have a hideous pink skin that glistens with slime. The head resembles an octopus, with white eyes and four tentacles around a round, many-toothed hole of a mouth. Completely absorbed by the mind, they are very frail of body. Mindflayers communicate with other creatures through telepathy. They are arrogant, and are well known for their cruelty to other races whom they consider a source of food.
