This version holds that the illithids are descended from the outcasts of an ancient human society that ruled the now-shattered world called Astromundi.

The outcast humans eventually mutated, deep underground, into the mind flayers. This boxed set also introduced the entity known as Lugribossk, who was depicted as a god of the Astromundi flayers then, but was later retconned into a proxy of the god Ilsensine.

In the retconned history of the illithids found in either The Illithiad or Lords of Madness , the emergence of illithids in Astromundi becomes a freak occurrence due to the intervention of Ilsensine through its proxy, since the illithids of Astromundi have their own histories as emerging solely upon that world.

However and whenever it occurred, when the illithids arrived in the Material Plane of the far past, they immediately began to build an empire by enslaving many sentient creatures.

They were very successful, and soon their worlds-spanning empire became the largest one the multiverse had ever seen.

They had the power—in terms of psychic potency and the manpower of countless slaves—to fashion artificial worlds. One such world was this empire's capital, called Penumbra, a diskworld built around a star, which was a thousand years in the making.

Such was their might that the Blood War paused as the demons and devils considered a truce to deal with the illithid empire. Eventually, the primary slave race of the illithids developed resistance to the mental powers of their masters, and revolted.

Led by the warrior Gith, the rebellion spread to all the illithids' worlds, and the empire collapsed. The illithid race itself seemed doomed.

Gith was betrayed by one of her own generals, Zerthimon , who believed she had grown tyrannical and over-aggressive. Civil war erupted, and the race factionalised into the githyanki and the githzerai and in the Spelljammer campaign setting the Pirates of Gith.

Dungeon claims the original home of the gith forerunners was a world known as Pharagos. Currently it is described as, "an unremarkable Material-Plane world, a far cry from the hotbed of magical activity and divine intervention that is the Forgotten Realms campaign or the World of Greyhawk.

As is recounted in most 1st and 2nd edition sources, the ancestors of the gith forerunners were a human civilization before being modified by countless generations of illithid breeding and profane science.

The background material of the Chainmail game [30] places the gith forerunners in a subterranean empire called Zarum in Western Oerik , where they dominated many other races from their capital city of Anithor.

These gith seem to have been divided into a rigid caste system, their lives ruled by ancient ritual. The ruins of Zarum overflow with sacred spaces and temples, though the names of the ancient gith gods are unknown today.

The period of Zarum's height is not entirely clear, but grey elf sages speculate it was approximately 2, years before the Demon Wars that ravaged Western Oerik, or 3, years before the present.

At some point, the illithids invaded Zarum from a neighboring plane of existence. Though the gith fought fiercely, they were no match for the psionic might of the mind flayers, and soon they were enslaved.

The River of Angry Souls is a remnant of one of the terrible battles between the illithids and the soon-to-be enslaved gith.

Many were brought to the Outer Planes and elsewhere to serve as illithid slaves. Other cities in Zarum were transformed into work pits where illithid overseers forced their slaves to toil for countless generations.

After Gith's rebellion, she led her people to the Astral Plane. While a few subject races and surviving illithids remained on Oerth, the gith forerunners have departed the world, seemingly for good.

If they retain any interest in the ruins of Zarum, it is well concealed. A portion of the ruins of Anithor were eventually colonized by the drow of House Kilsek , who named their new settlement Kalan-G'eld.

Currently, the illithids are in a period of intense study and experimentation, gathering knowledge of all sorts that will enable them to eventually reconquer the universe and hold it for good.

They frequently meddle in the politics of other races through subtle psychic manipulation of key figures, not to cause chaos but so as to better understand the dynamics of civilization.

They regularly probe the minds of surface dwellers so as to gather intelligence and learn about new advances in magic and technology. They also do a good deal of research themselves, mainly focused on developing new psychic powers.

Illithids regularly conduct raids on all sentient settlements to acquire new thralls, [16] because their existing stock of sentient thralls do not breed fast enough to satisfy their food and labor needs.

Typically, a group of mind flayers will teleport to the settlement and swiftly incapacitate them with their psychic powers. The captives will then be marched all the way to the illithids' underground settlement by specially trained and conditioned thralls.

Great care is taken to cover their tracks. An illithid city is ruled by a creature called an Elder Brain which lives in a pool of cerebral fluid in the city's center.

When an illithid dies its brain is extracted and taken to the pool. Illithids believe that when they die their personality is incorporated into the Elder Brain, but this is not the case.

When the brain of an illithid is added to the Elder Brain, the memories, thoughts and experiences are consumed and added to the sum of the whole, but all else is lost.

This fact is a closely guarded secret of the Elder Brains, since all illithid aspire to a form of immortality through this merging process.

An extremely ancient Elder Brain is called a God-Brain because its psionic powers are almost limitless.

Since the Elder Brain contains the essence of every illithid that died in its community, it functions in part as a vast library of knowledge that a mind flayer can call upon with a simple telepathic call.

The Elder Brain in turn can communicate telepathically with anyone in its community, issuing orders and ensuring everyone conforms.

Illithids generally frown upon magic, preferring their natural psionic ability. Psionic potential is an integral part of the illithid identity, and the Elder Brain cannot absorb the magical powers of an illithid mage when it dies.

They tolerate a limited study of wizardry, if only to better understand the powers employed by their enemies. However, an illithid who goes too far and neglects his psionic development in favor of wizardry risks becoming an outcast.

Denied the possibility of ever merging with the Elder Brain, such outcasts often seek their own immortality through undeath, becoming alhoons.

Illithids typically communicate through psychic means. They project thoughts and feelings to each other in a way non-illithids can scarcely comprehend.

When they do feel the need to write, they do so in "qualith. They use each tentacle to feel the breaks in the lines, making it basically similar to braille.

However, qualith is extremely complex, as each line modifies the preceding lines through explaining abstract concepts associated with the above words in ways no human can understand; only by understanding all four lines simultaneously can the meaning be understood properly.

Traditionally illithids revere a perverse deity named Ilsensine. In 2nd edition, they have a second deity named Maanzecorian, who is later killed by Tenebrous Orcus in the Planescape adventure module Dead Gods.

Although Ilsensine is the illithid patron deity, few mind flayers actively worship it, thinking themselves the most powerful creatures in the universe.

Illithids seek to rebuild their former empire wherein all other species were their slaves, so they view any sentient creature as worthy only of being their slaves or their food.

They are pragmatic, however, and will trade with other races, such as dark elves and gray dwarves, who are too strong to be conquered.

They also trade with the Neogi in order to obtain slaves. Their archenemies are the githyanki and the githzerai , descendants of the rebellious slaves who destroyed their empire millennia ago.

Hunting and slaying illithids whenever they can is an integral part of their cultures. Illithids fear the undead because these creatures, even the sentient ones, are immune to telepathic detection and manipulation, and have no brains to consume.

Confronting such mindless creatures can even be traumatizing to some of them. According to the Lords of Madness history, Illithids are one of the few races respected by the aboleths.

This is because the aboleths remember the origin of almost every other race, through their hereditary memory. However, illithids, as far the aboleths can remember, just appeared without preamble, which scares them.

In Eberron , the illithid come from Xoriat, the plane of Madness. They were created by the Daelkyr in their invasion plans. It is not known if they have elder brains, but their continued existence implies that they can breed on their own.

The mind flayers of Eberron are resistant to damage from all weapons except those made out of byeshk, a new exotic material in the Eberron setting.

Illithids typically dwell in dim, underground settlements, usually in the Underdark. Perhaps the best-known illithid settlement on Oerth is the city of Dra-Mur-Shou, located within several miles of the Vault of the Drow.

A number of illithids also make their home in the drow city of Erelhei-Cinlu , due to the presence of a well-known mind flayer research center.

Illithids also have a strong presence in Greyspace and spheres beyond. The primary spelljamming ship used by illithids is the nautiloid, a ton craft resembling a nautilus.

Nautiloids are ' to ' long, including the tentacle-like piercing ram. The ship's coiled shell provides the comfort of enclosed space and protects the illithids from the rays of solar bodies.

Less common illithid vessels such as the ton squid ship, the ton octopus, and the ton cuttle command also resemble the cephalopods after which they are named.

In Greyspace, the largest illithid settlements are the city of Sharpbeak on Celene and the settlement of Skullbringer in the Grinder.

Illithids are the rulers of a domain in the Ravenloft campaign setting called Bluetspur, where their God-Brain is the darklord.

How and why this particular Illithid elder-brain became a darklord has never been revealed in any official Ravenloft products.

According to Ken Rolston , the beholder and the mind flayer "win starring roles as intergalactic menaces" in Spelljammer, describing the mind flayers as "evil, brain-sucking horrors who have polished up their social skills sufficiently to present a dubiously neutral facade to trading partners as they secretly scheme toward the day when all intelligent races will be their vassals and brain-food".

Mind Flayers are one of the primary factions in the Spelljammer campaign setting. While less prominent than the neogi , illithids are in complete control of Glyth, a Realmspace planet, and have been for millennia.

Illithids' primary ship type is the nautiloid, a ton craft resembling a nautilus. Nautiloids are ', or ' long including the tentacle-like piercing ram.

The ships' coiled shell provides the comfort of enclosed space and protects the illithids from solar radiation. Less common illithid vessels such as the ton squidship , the ton octopus , and the ton cuttle command also resemble the cephalopods after which they are named.

In the Spelljammer setting, the illithids are the creators of the oortlings, a humanoid race of high intelligence and enlarged size.

Bred as food, the oortlings are completely docile and have little motivation and almost no instinct for self-preservation. Screen Rant compiled a list of the game's "10 Most Powerful And 10 Weakest Monsters, Ranked" in , calling the elder brain one of the strongest, saying that the 5th edition version "still represents a grave threat to most adventuring parties, thanks to its range of powerful enchantment spells and psionic attacks, but it isn't quite the epic level threat that it once was.

The villain in the Neverwinter Nights premium module 'Kingmaker' is also an Illithid. The first act of Baldur's Gate III is focused on removing mind flayer larvae from the player characters' brains.

In Planescape: Torment , the player character may uncover a history of the illithids as they relate to the githzerai and the githyanki through studying the rings of the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon in Dak'kon's possession.

In episode 30 of the webcomic " Order of the Stick " written by Rich Burlew , the party bard Elan encounters an illithid in its lair.

The illithid opts not to consume Elan's brain due to the bard's stupidity, and so they start playing Scrabble instead. In the Final Fantasy series, players encounter an enemy called the Mindflayer, a cave-dwelling magic user that has the head of a squid, wears a flowing robe, and wields a staff.

The Netflix series Stranger Things , following the eighth episode of the second season, used the name "Mind Flayer" to refer to the main antagonist of the series due to their similar natures.

Retrieved November 8, Sure enough, there's a creature in the game that's kind of similar. Solitary mind fiayers are likely rogues and outcasts.

Most illithids belong to a colony of sibling mind fiayers devoted to an elder brain - a massive brain-like being that resides in a briny pool near the center of a mind fiayer community.

From its pool, an elder brain telepathically dictates its desires to each individual mind fiayer within 5 miles of it, for it is able to hold multiple mental conversations at once.

Hunger of the Mind. Illithids subsist on the brains of humanoids. The brains provide enzymes, hormones, and psychic energy necessary for their survival.

An illithid healthy from a brain-rich diet secretes a thin glaze of mucus that coats its mauve skin. An illithid experiences euphoria as it devours the brain of a humanoid, along with its memories, personality, and innermost fears.

Mind fiayers will sometimes harvest a brain rather than devour it, using it as part of some alien experiment or transforming it into an intellect devourer.

On the rare occasion that mind flayers need to write something down, they do so in Qualith. Qualith is written in four-line stanzas and is so alien in construction that non-illithids must resort to magic to discern its meaning.

Though Qualith can be used to keep records, illithids most often use it to mark portals or other surfaces with warnings or instructions.

A few mind flayers supplement their psionic power with arcane spells. However, they are regarded as deviants by their illithid peers and usually shunned.

A mind flayer arcanist has a challenge rating of 8 3, XP and the following trait. The mind flayer is a 10th-level spellcaster. The mind flayer has the following wizard spells prepared:.

Cantrips at will : blade ward , dancing lights , mage hand , shocking grasp. You extend your hand and trace a sigil of warding in the air.

Until the end of your next turn, you have resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt by weapon attacks. You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration.

You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a foot radius.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.

The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial.

You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target.

You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal. For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you.

If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

You make yourself-including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person-look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it.

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection.

For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair.

If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence Investigation check against your spell save DC.

An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect.

Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points ignoring unconscious creatures.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.

A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

A black beam of enervating energy springs from your finger toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength until the spell ends.

On a success, the spell ends. You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you a place you have visited or seen before or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees.

When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space. As your action, you can switch between seeing and hearing.

A creature that can see the sensor such as a creature benefiting from see invisibility or truesight sees a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.

A stroke of lightning forming a line feet long and 5 feet wide blasts out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw.

A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.

You send a short message of twenty-five words or less to a creature with which you are familiar. The creature hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately.

The spell enables creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your message.

Each creature in a foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw when you cast this spell or be affected by it.

At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wisdom saving throw. If it succeeds, this effect ends for that target.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th. You make natural terrain in a foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain.

Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.

The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion.

A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain. You gain the ability to move or manipulate creatures or objects by thought.

When you cast the spell, and as your action each round for the duration, you can exert your will on one creature or object that you can see within range, causing the appropriate effect below.

You can affect the same target round after round, or choose a new one at any time. If you switch targets, the prior target is no longer affected by the spell.

You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. If you win the contest, you move the creature up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward but not beyond the range of this spell.

Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained in your telekinetic grip. A creature lifted upward is suspended in mid-air.

On subsequent rounds, you can use your action to attempt to maintain your telekinetic grip on the creature by repeating the contest.

Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Mind Flayer

This leaves the larvae unattended. Bereft of exterior nourishment, they begin to consume one another. The survivor will eventually leave the pool in search of food brains.

This unmorphed larvae is known as Neothelids. If the Neothelid consumes an intelligent creature it will awaken to sapience and psionic abilities and grow to immense size, while retaining its memories of savage survival.

In Complete Psionic , it was revealed that Illithids have a step between larva and Neothelid called a Larval Flayer , which looks like an overgrown tadpole.

The existence of these beasts is a guarded secret among Illithids, and it is considered impolite to speak of them. Alhoons also called illithiliches are illithids that choose to focus on developing arcane abilities in addition to their psionic ones, and have grown powerful enough in magic to become undead liches.

Alhoons are generally pariahs in illithid society because they go against most illithids' eventual goal; to merge with the Elder Brain, both physically and psionically.

Alhoons, on the other hand, are more concerned with their own personal survival. When discovered near illithid communities Alhoons are mercilessly hunted down.

Ulitharids are created from tadpoles much like standard illithids; fewer than 0. Superior in nearly all ways to a regular mind flayer, ulitharids possess two extra tentacles, which are twice as long as the others, and an extreme arrogance, even by the standards of their own kind.

Only the Elder Brain holds more sway within an illithid community. The origins of these unique undead mind flayers are unclear.

All that is known of these creatures is that they cannot create spawn, need both fresh blood and fresh brains to survive, are more feral than typical illithids, and are barely intelligent.

One possible origin is given in the Ravenloft adventure Thoughts of Darkness , in which a vampiress collaborates with the illithids in using the Apparatus to create the first vampiric illithid, a being never conceived of before.

The yaggol are a variant presented in the Dragonlance campaign setting. The history of their civilization stretches back to the end of the first age of Krynn.

Their empire was thriving at the same time the High Ogres of Ansalon founded their own empire. Enslaving the Cha'asii elves , the yaggol ruled over the continent with a nightmarish will but this all came to end when the cha'asii learned how to defeat the mind powers of the yaggol.

A great war was fought, and the empire crumbled as both sides nearly wiped each other out. All that remained of this once aberrant race were seven obsidian temples in The Valley of Akh-Tazi.

After the shattering of the empire, an uneasy truce was struck, only broken by skirmishes and murder. The cha'asii went their separate ways; establishing villages like Ke-Cha-Yat where they could live in peace from the yaggol.

This would all change with the coming of Gloomwing , a former orthlox Black Dragon that joined with the Brethren, the cult followers of Maladar an-Desh , Lord of Wizards.

Brain Golem : An eight-foot-tall humanoid-shaped construct made entirely of brain tissue, these creations exist only to serve an elder brain and its illithid community.

Brainstealer Dragon : A mix of illithid and dragon , these powerful wyrms occasionally rule over illithid communities that lack an elder brain.

Illithidae : Illithidae are to mind flayers as less intelligent animals are to humans. Known types include the cessirid, embrac, kigrid, and saltor.

They were updated in 3. Illithocyte : Illithid tadpoles that survived the fall of a mind flayer empire, they evolved into a new life form and now crawl about in groups seeking psychic radiation on which to feed.

Kezreth : A living troop transport and battle platform created from the severed head of a shamed illithid. They serve in this capacity in the hope of redeeming themselves and being allowed to return to the elder brain.

Mind Worm : Created by illithids to serve as assassins and bounty hunters, these powerful psionic creatures resemble smaller purple worms.

They can attack from far distances with their probe worms. Mindwitness : Inserting an illithid tadpole into a beholder results in these abominations, which are used as guards and sentries.

Mozgriken : An illithid tadpole inserted into a svirfneblin gnome while subjected to a dangerous psionic ritual creates a mozgriken.

These three-tentacled ceremorphs are despised by all, but their aptitude for stealth and psionic powers of stealth and shape control make them useful spies for the illithids.

Neothelid : If an illithid tadpole survives but fails to undergo ceremorphosis, it will eventually grow into an incredibly powerful worm-like creature with illithid tentacles at the forefront of its body and immense mental powers.

Nerve Swimmers : Derived from immature illithid tadpoles, these entities are living instruments of torture and interrogation.

Nyraala Golem : A flailing, slimy, tentacled construct capable of launching surprise attacks. They often serve as guards, and are prized because their creation does not involve petitioning the elder brain to surrender part of its mass.

Octopin : A six-tentacled, purple-skinned monstrosity with a single eye created by mind flayers. Seugathi : Seugathi are spawned by the hundreds by a single neothelid that has performed rituals to impregnate itself.

Tzakandi : Illithid tadpoles inserted into lizardfolk create tzakandi, which the mind flayers use as slave labourers and personal guards. Uchuulon : A chuul implanted with an illithid tadpole becomes an uchuulon.

Also known as slime chuuls, illithids use them as hunters and guardians. Urophion : Inserting an illithid tadpole into a roper results in these miserable creatures, which are used as guards and sentries.

Ustilagor : Mind flayers farm these larval intellect devourers for food and sentries. Vampire Squid : Servitor creatures created by illithids to extend their reach below the surface of Underdark waters.

They have a maw of sharp teeth which can be turned inside out and function as defensive spikes. Voidmind Creatures : A voidmind creature is an ordinary creature such as a normal human or human-like creature or animal whose mind has been nearly devoured by a mind flayer, but enough has been left intact for basic motor function.

Further psionic rituals give these near dead creatures a semblance of life. The resulting creatures act as minions and spies for the Illithids.

Illithids often create symbionts, a kind of living item eventually adapted for the Eberron campaign setting.

Illithids use these symbionts for themselves and their slaves. These symbionts help their general offensive and defensive capabilities. Known illithid symbionts include the mnemonicus, wriggler, and carapace symbionts.

The 2nd Edition book The Illithiad suggests they may be from the Far Realm , an incomprehensible plane completely alien to the known multiverse.

There is no mention of time travel in this theory. Instead, they emerged somewhere countless thousands of years ago, beyond the histories of many mortal races, and spread from one world to another, and another, and so on.

It is explicitly stated in this book that the illithids appear in some of the most ancient histories of the most ancient races, even those that have no mention of other races.

The 3. In these two differing versions of the story, much of the variance hinges upon a fictional text called The Sargonne Prophecies. The Illithiad described the Prophecies as misnamed, and that much of it sounds more like ancient myth than prophecy.

Lords of Madness takes the name more literally, and states that The Sargonne Prophecies are in fact prophecy—or, perhaps more accurately, a history of the future.

This version holds that the illithids are descended from the outcasts of an ancient human society that ruled the now-shattered world called Astromundi.

The outcast humans eventually mutated, deep underground, into the mind flayers. This boxed set also introduced the entity known as Lugribossk, who was depicted as a god of the Astromundi flayers then, but was later retconned into a proxy of the god Ilsensine.

In the retconned history of the illithids found in either The Illithiad or Lords of Madness , the emergence of illithids in Astromundi becomes a freak occurrence due to the intervention of Ilsensine through its proxy, since the illithids of Astromundi have their own histories as emerging solely upon that world.

However and whenever it occurred, when the illithids arrived in the Material Plane of the far past, they immediately began to build an empire by enslaving many sentient creatures.

They were very successful, and soon their worlds-spanning empire became the largest one the multiverse had ever seen.

They had the power—in terms of psychic potency and the manpower of countless slaves—to fashion artificial worlds. One such world was this empire's capital, called Penumbra, a diskworld built around a star, which was a thousand years in the making.

Such was their might that the Blood War paused as the demons and devils considered a truce to deal with the illithid empire.

Eventually, the primary slave race of the illithids developed resistance to the mental powers of their masters, and revolted.

Led by the warrior Gith, the rebellion spread to all the illithids' worlds, and the empire collapsed. The illithid race itself seemed doomed.

Gith was betrayed by one of her own generals, Zerthimon , who believed she had grown tyrannical and over-aggressive. Civil war erupted, and the race factionalised into the githyanki and the githzerai and in the Spelljammer campaign setting the Pirates of Gith.

Dungeon claims the original home of the gith forerunners was a world known as Pharagos. Currently it is described as, "an unremarkable Material-Plane world, a far cry from the hotbed of magical activity and divine intervention that is the Forgotten Realms campaign or the World of Greyhawk.

As is recounted in most 1st and 2nd edition sources, the ancestors of the gith forerunners were a human civilization before being modified by countless generations of illithid breeding and profane science.

The background material of the Chainmail game [30] places the gith forerunners in a subterranean empire called Zarum in Western Oerik , where they dominated many other races from their capital city of Anithor.

These gith seem to have been divided into a rigid caste system, their lives ruled by ancient ritual. The ruins of Zarum overflow with sacred spaces and temples, though the names of the ancient gith gods are unknown today.

The period of Zarum's height is not entirely clear, but grey elf sages speculate it was approximately 2, years before the Demon Wars that ravaged Western Oerik, or 3, years before the present.

At some point, the illithids invaded Zarum from a neighboring plane of existence. Though the gith fought fiercely, they were no match for the psionic might of the mind flayers, and soon they were enslaved.

The River of Angry Souls is a remnant of one of the terrible battles between the illithids and the soon-to-be enslaved gith. Many were brought to the Outer Planes and elsewhere to serve as illithid slaves.

Other cities in Zarum were transformed into work pits where illithid overseers forced their slaves to toil for countless generations.

After Gith's rebellion, she led her people to the Astral Plane. While a few subject races and surviving illithids remained on Oerth, the gith forerunners have departed the world, seemingly for good.

If they retain any interest in the ruins of Zarum, it is well concealed. A portion of the ruins of Anithor were eventually colonized by the drow of House Kilsek , who named their new settlement Kalan-G'eld.

Currently, the illithids are in a period of intense study and experimentation, gathering knowledge of all sorts that will enable them to eventually reconquer the universe and hold it for good.

They frequently meddle in the politics of other races through subtle psychic manipulation of key figures, not to cause chaos but so as to better understand the dynamics of civilization.

They regularly probe the minds of surface dwellers so as to gather intelligence and learn about new advances in magic and technology.

They also do a good deal of research themselves, mainly focused on developing new psychic powers. Illithids regularly conduct raids on all sentient settlements to acquire new thralls, [16] because their existing stock of sentient thralls do not breed fast enough to satisfy their food and labor needs.

Typically, a group of mind flayers will teleport to the settlement and swiftly incapacitate them with their psychic powers. The captives will then be marched all the way to the illithids' underground settlement by specially trained and conditioned thralls.

Great care is taken to cover their tracks. An illithid city is ruled by a creature called an Elder Brain which lives in a pool of cerebral fluid in the city's center.

When an illithid dies its brain is extracted and taken to the pool. Illithids believe that when they die their personality is incorporated into the Elder Brain, but this is not the case.

When the brain of an illithid is added to the Elder Brain, the memories, thoughts and experiences are consumed and added to the sum of the whole, but all else is lost.

This fact is a closely guarded secret of the Elder Brains, since all illithid aspire to a form of immortality through this merging process.

An extremely ancient Elder Brain is called a God-Brain because its psionic powers are almost limitless. Since the Elder Brain contains the essence of every illithid that died in its community, it functions in part as a vast library of knowledge that a mind flayer can call upon with a simple telepathic call.

The Elder Brain in turn can communicate telepathically with anyone in its community, issuing orders and ensuring everyone conforms.

Illithids generally frown upon magic, preferring their natural psionic ability. Psionic potential is an integral part of the illithid identity, and the Elder Brain cannot absorb the magical powers of an illithid mage when it dies.

They tolerate a limited study of wizardry, if only to better understand the powers employed by their enemies. However, an illithid who goes too far and neglects his psionic development in favor of wizardry risks becoming an outcast.

Denied the possibility of ever merging with the Elder Brain, such outcasts often seek their own immortality through undeath, becoming alhoons.

Illithids typically communicate through psychic means. They project thoughts and feelings to each other in a way non-illithids can scarcely comprehend.

When they do feel the need to write, they do so in "qualith. They use each tentacle to feel the breaks in the lines, making it basically similar to braille.

However, qualith is extremely complex, as each line modifies the preceding lines through explaining abstract concepts associated with the above words in ways no human can understand; only by understanding all four lines simultaneously can the meaning be understood properly.

Traditionally illithids revere a perverse deity named Ilsensine. In 2nd edition, they have a second deity named Maanzecorian, who is later killed by Tenebrous Orcus in the Planescape adventure module Dead Gods.

Psionic tyrants, slavers, and interdimensional voyagers, they are insidious masterminds that harvest entire races for their own twisted ends.

Four tentacles snake from their octopus-like heads, flexing in hungry anticipation when sentient creatures come near. In eons past, illithids controlled empires that spanned many worlds.

They subjugated and consequently warped whole races of humanoid slaves, including the githyanki and githzerai, the grimlocks, and the kuo-toa.

Conjoined by a collective consciousness, the illithids hatch plots as far-reaching and evil as their fathomless minds can conceive.

Since the fall of their empires, illithid collectives on the Material Plane have resided in the Underdark. Psionic Commanders.

Mind fiayers possess psionic powers that enable them to control the minds of creatures such as troglodytes, grimlocks, quaggoths, and ogres.

Illithids prefer to communicate via telepathy and use their telepathy when issuing commands to their thralls.

When an illithid meets strong resistance, it avoids initial combat as it orders its thralls to attack. Hive Mind Colonies. Solitary mind fiayers are likely rogues and outcasts.

Most illithids belong to a colony of sibling mind fiayers devoted to an elder brain - a massive brain-like being that resides in a briny pool near the center of a mind fiayer community.

From its pool, an elder brain telepathically dictates its desires to each individual mind fiayer within 5 miles of it, for it is able to hold multiple mental conversations at once.

Hunger of the Mind. Illithids subsist on the brains of humanoids. The brains provide enzymes, hormones, and psychic energy necessary for their survival.

An illithid healthy from a brain-rich diet secretes a thin glaze of mucus that coats its mauve skin. An illithid experiences euphoria as it devours the brain of a humanoid, along with its memories, personality, and innermost fears.

Mind fiayers will sometimes harvest a brain rather than devour it, using it as part of some alien experiment or transforming it into an intellect devourer.

On the rare occasion that mind flayers need to write something down, they do so in Qualith. Qualith is written in four-line stanzas and is so alien in construction that non-illithids must resort to magic to discern its meaning.

Though Qualith can be used to keep records, illithids most often use it to mark portals or other surfaces with warnings or instructions.

A few mind flayers supplement their psionic power with arcane spells. However, they are regarded as deviants by their illithid peers and usually shunned.

A mind flayer arcanist has a challenge rating of 8 3, XP and the following trait. The mind flayer is a 10th-level spellcaster. The mind flayer has the following wizard spells prepared:.

Cantrips at will : blade ward , dancing lights , mage hand , shocking grasp. You extend your hand and trace a sigil of warding in the air.

Until the end of your next turn, you have resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt by weapon attacks.

You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration.

You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a foot radius.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.

The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial.

You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch.

Make a melee spell attack against the target. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal.

For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

You make yourself-including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person-look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it.

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection.

For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair.

If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence Investigation check against your spell save DC.

An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber.

Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points ignoring unconscious creatures.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.

A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

A black beam of enervating energy springs from your finger toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target.

On a hit, the target deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength until the spell ends. On a success, the spell ends. You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you a place you have visited or seen before or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees.

When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space. As your action, you can switch between seeing and hearing.

A creature that can see the sensor such as a creature benefiting from see invisibility or truesight sees a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.

A stroke of lightning forming a line feet long and 5 feet wide blasts out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw.

A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.

You send a short message of twenty-five words or less to a creature with which you are familiar. The creature hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately.

The spell enables creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your message. Each creature in a foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw when you cast this spell or be affected by it.

At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wisdom saving throw. If it succeeds, this effect ends for that target. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.

You make natural terrain in a foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain.

A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.
