| '''Mind flayers''' or '''illithids''' are a non-playable [[race|race]] of [[List_of_Creature_Types#Aberration|Aberration]] creatures. The [[Githyanki]] word for mind flayer is ''ghaik''. Multiple specific creatures titled '''Mind Flayer''' also exist in the game and are, as their names would suggest, all mind flayers.

| == Interactions == | | |WIS = 17 |
| Mind flayers play a major role as antagonists throughout the game, from the prologue into the endgame. Though most are immediately hostile, in some cases a mind flayer can be friendly or downright ingratiating. Whether their pleasantness is genuine or a self-serving veneer on their psionic charms is often left for the player to contemplate.
