Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The mind flayer’s innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:

• At will: astral plane, detect thoughts, dominate monster, levitate, plane shift (self only), suggestion,

• Multiattack. The mind flayer can make four attacks with its tentacles or one attack with its extract brain ability if conditions are met.
• Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 2 (1d4) psychic damage. If the target is Large or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 15) and must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or suffer automatic damage in the next round. Add +2 to the escape DC for each tentacle grappling the target. If at any moment the target is grappled by four tentacles, then the mind flayer can activate the extract brain ability as a swift action.

Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or take 22 (4d8 + 4) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute.
