'''Mind flayers''' or '''illithids''' are a non-playable [[race|race]], and a type of [[List_of_Creature_Types#Aberration|Aberration]]. The [[Githyanki]] word for mind flayer is ''ghaik''.

== About mind flayers == | |||
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. | |||
Mind flayers reproduce by infecting other creatures with a [[Mind Flayer Tadpole|tadpole]], which consumes its host from the inside, transforming them into another mind flayer in a process called {{FRWiki|Ceremorphosis}}. | |||
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. | |||
