Killing it provides a {{SmRarityItem|Mind Flayer Brain}}, which can be consumed, as well as a Windmill Key, {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Truthfulness}}, a random gemstone, and Absolute Orders: Newborn. Consuming the brain grants one illithid potential. Killing the Mindflayer will also earn the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Kill 'Em While They're Young''' ([[Haunted One]] background). | ||

If the Mind Flayer is fed, it will leave the windmill after a long rest. It will later re-appear in the [[Lower City]], killing a couple of NPCs. The Mind Flayer can still be killed for its brain after giving it a corpse, but consuming it at this point will not grant an additional illithid skill point. | ||

If the | If the Mind Flayer is persuaded to get its own meal, it leaves the windmill to go hunt, with no further reward. This will result in the death of nearby picnicker Sloncha Owena and the disappearance of her beau Bogdan Vortleson. | ||
