'''Mind flayers''' or '''illithids''' are a non-playable [[race|race]] of [[List_of_Creature_Types#Aberration|Aberration]] creatures. The [[Githyanki]] word for mind flayer is ''ghaik''. Multiple specific creatures titled '''Mind Flayer''' also exist in the game and are, as their names would suggest, all 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.

Thousands of years ago, mind flayers were a dominant planar power.

One of their enslaved races, the [[Gith|gith]], rose up and destroyed their empire, leaving only small pockets of mind flayers behind.

Mind flayers play a major role as antagonists throughout the game, from the prologue into the endgame. Though most are immediately hostile, in some cases a mind flayer can be friendly or downright ingratiating. Whether their pleasantness is genuine or a self-serving veneer on their psionic charms is often left for the player to contemplate.

== About Mind Flayers ==
=== Mind Flayer enemy variants ===
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 Flayer (prologue): A unique mind flayer in the prologue has a slightly larger health pool than mind flayers encountered later in the game. It also does not gain {{SAI|Charm}} on [[Tactician]].
* [[Illithid Arcanist]]


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