It is also the most feared, for its powers are formidable and it feeds on the brain on any human, demihuman, or humanoid creature it encounters. Using sheer mental power, they are able to enslave or destroy its foes. Mind flayers stand about 6 feet tall, with hideous mauve skin that glistens with slime. The head resembles an octopus, with white pupiless eyes and four tentacles protruding from where a mouth should be. The creature has three fingers and a thumb on each hand; is fingers have a reddish cast, the the rest of the had is mauve. Mind flayers can communicate with all creatures via telepathy; they have no spoken language, though they have been known to accompany their thoughts with faint hissing and and the eager lashing of their tentacles. Mind flayers dress in flowing robes, adorned with symbols of death and despair.
