Description

A Beholder Parasite is the result of a beholder experiencing such a splitting head ache that it quite literally splits its head, severing one of its personalities, placing it inside one of its eyestocks which is severed from the main body and quickly mutates into its parasitic form.

Wishing to regain its full power the aprasite worms its way through the underdark to find a suitable host. Paralyzing its potential new body with the singe eye ray it has remaining, then burrying into its flesh and fusing with its body, taking on the traits of its new host.

Habitat: Underdark
