Homebrew Alhoon Species Details

Alhoons were magic-using outcasts from mind flayer societies who had defied the ruling elder brains to achieve a limited form of lichdom. Only the most powerful mind flayer mages could achieve true lichdom and were known as illithiliches; however, many in the Realms did not make this distinction. An undead mind flayer.  

Alhoons looked liked they had in life except that their skin possessed none of the wet, smooth, slimy texture of living illithids, instead, appearing dry, wrinkled, and cracked as a result of the powerful magic resistance that had prevented a perfect conversion to lichdom. They had to work hard to keep their skin hydrated—such as by taking frequent baths or by consuming liquids—or else it would begin to dessicate.

They detested—but were not generally harmed by—bright lights, extreme temperatures, and lack of food.
