Lokilia tries to recall if she's heard anything about Illithid. (Nature or Arcana?: 19)
She says, "The part about the gnome sounds... uh... serious. Shouldn't we figure out who that might be before they... get their loose ends tied up?"
In her time in Zephyr Lokilia has read a number of works regarding creatures called Flayers....that she now recognizes included the word illithid as an alternate name.....
Illithids are characterized by their exceptional height, purplish skin, facial tentacles surrounding a toothy maw, and ability to levitate, which is often used for movement.
Each illithid community is connected by a central intelligence, known as an elder brain, that telepathically projects its desires to the illithids within several miles. Mind flayers are suspicious of the arcane, and practice of such can lead to expulsion from their society.They are considered to be evil or at least uncaring of other beings, illithid society is well-structured, with groups of mind flayers being broken into creeds. Each individual mind flayer supports the whole.
While illithids do not typically possess arcane abilities, they do have powerful psionic capabilities. Most forms of attack from a mind flayer target the mind of a creature. While they know where a creature is, they can invade that creature's mind. If they are blinded and do not already have a firm mental link with a creature, they cannot use their abilities.
