Description

On Krynn, mind flayers are as feared as on any other world, but a subsect of their number were isolated from their elder brain when the Cataclysm hit. These mind flayers regressed mentally, their psionic powers dwindling to minimal levels, but their hunger for brains is yet insatiable. These creatures, now called yaggol (meaning "Once-Was" in Undercommon) now hunt the jungles of Taladas, rivaling the local Cha'asi elves for dominace of the lawless region.
