The Mindflayer

Mind Flayers, also known as Illithids, are psionic aberrations with a humanoid form and tentacled heads. They are known for their telepathic communication, enslavement of other beings, and the consumption of brains. Mind Flayers are connected to Elder Brains, colossal, psionic brains that command Mind Flayer colonies. Their reproduction involves infecting hosts with Mind Flayer Tadpoles, which transform the host into another Mind Flayer through a process called Ceremorphosis.
