The player has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it. If the player listens to Omeluum they will learn that it is a rogue member of its society who was born with special powers that allow it to resist the control of the [[Elder Brain]] of its colony.

Should the player accept the [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] quest and bring Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole. Omeluum will not only fail, but also make the tadpole more powerful. The Mindflayer will be surprised and worried about the power of the tadpole, and will apologize for not being of service. Omeluum will then offer to sell the [[Ring of Mind-Shielding]], which can limit the powers of the tadpole. The player can either buy this ring or convince Omeluum to give it to them. | Should the player accept the [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] quest and bring Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole.
