Mind flayers are psionic aberrations with a humanoid-like figure and a tentacled head that communicate using telepathy. They feast on the brains of intelligent beings and can enthrall other creatures to their will. Every mind flayer is connected to an [[Elder Brain]], a colossal and powerful psionic brain that commands the mind flayers it is linked to.

Thousands of years ago, Mind flayers were a dominant planar power. Using massive flying vessels called [[Nautiloid (Lore)|Nautiloid]]s, they traveled to hundreds of worlds, harvesting intelligent humanoids to consume, propagate their race, and use as slave labour. One of their enslaved races, the the [[Gith|gith]], rose up and destroyed their empire, leaving only small pockets of mind flayers behind.
