A '''Partial-Illithid''' is a character who has undergone a transformation and become a partial [[Mind Flayer]]. Partial-Illithids gain access to [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]], but also experience a physical change.

== Becoming partially-illithid ==

After completing [[Act Two]] and travelling to the outskirts of [[Baldur's Gate]], the party will be attacked by [[Githyanki]] [[Monk]]s upon long resting. After the fight, [[the Emperor]] will offer the player the [[Astral-Touched Tadpole]].  

The player may use the astral tadpole immediately, however other characters will have to be [[Persuasion|Persuaded]] ([[Minthara]] will want to use the tadpole, but she must be spoken to for the option to become available). A character can then choose to open their mind to the tadpole (or eat it) to undergo partial-ceremorphosis. Note that if any character chooses to eat the tadpole, others will not be able to use it.

A partial-illithid will immediately gain access to the following [[Illithid Powers|powers]] (any regular [[tadpoles]] the character might have already spent to unlock these abilities will refunded):

 

As well they gain access to the outer tier of [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]] (though these will require additional [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]s):

 

== Notes and trivia ==

* During the partial-ceremorphosis scene some of the character's teeth may fall out. However, a full set of teeth can be seen in later scenes with the character.
