While they've been around since the earliest iterations of D&D, in recent years, mind flayers or illithids seem to have reached new heights of popularity, giving their name to the strange hivemind creature in Stranger Things seasons 2 and 3, and taking on the role of primary antagonists in the D&D game Baldur's Gate 3.There's something particularly horrible about this intelligent monster.. With a CR 7, a mind flayer would be a powerful asset for the party. However, expect few DMs to be comfortable with this. As a general rule, once your character becomes a mind flayer, they fall under the control of the DM as an NPC. Balancing combat encounters with a monster on the party's side can be tricky, too.

Mind Flayers are humanoid in their appearance, and a full-grown Illithid can stand between six to six-and-a-half feet tall -- but they don't start out that way. Hermaphroditic in nature, an adult Mind Flayer will lay a clutch of about 1,000 eggs two or three times during their life cycle. Those eggs hatch into disgustingly adorable Illithid.. For centuries, the Gith were enslaved by the Illithids until they eventually rose up against the cruel, tentacled tyrants. Within a single year, the Gith completely destroyed the Mind Flayers' empire. The Illithids were slaughtered, the Nautiloids were destroyed, and every trace of the empire was reduced to dust.
