Illithid race

Race illithid

Illithids -- psionics from the deepest reaches of the underworld, with an octopus head and a habit of sucking brains through their tentacles. Indecently clever, which makes them all the more unpleasant.

Mentally invulnerable and immune to charm -- professionals at it. Spells also fade off: their thin skin shunts magic through its own channels. They see by infravision, sense the hidden, and prowl silently.

In battle they strike whole areas, parry, kick, trip, and dodge well. Illithid colonies are in Sewers and in The City of Anon. Don't engage one alone -- you have only one brain, and without it you won't last long.
