Throwback to before I sculpted Siraan's face scars where I made her Illithid veins cover half her face as a substitute.

Technically, Illithids are aberrations, not monsters, but there are no aberrations here, so…
An Illithid, specifically the Emperor. The Emperor inspired Xal to embrace his own desire and become an Illithid.

Fun fact: becoming illithid is her biggest “fuck you” to Vlaakith. She was meant to be the first of a long line of soldiers. Instead, she becomes an illithid, and is the first to start the war against her reign.
Being githyanki herself, the Gith have had a huge impact on Adlishar’s life. She was raised to eventually be shu’kyani, an egg-bearer so she could begin a bloodline of githyanki with a red dragon’s power. That is why she was named Adlishar, “first among many”.

Illithid sold

- illithid to stop the netherbrain and then ended his life afterwards.

Lu remembers well after the fact and it hurts them they could stop him or save him. They realized Auryn never stopped loving even after death. 💔🥺

#tavqotd #durgeqotd The Astral Tadpole

If your Tav/Durge were a companion, would they need convincing to take the Astral Tadpole? Is it a hard or easy sell? How do they feel about the prospect of being half-illithid?

Do not steal him. He'd prefer some affection, I think. 👀

"...plus it unlocks the Illithid power 'summon bacon'!"

Siraan needs a illithid to stop the vile fish above, I recommend Xera'thul!

-XL Illithid, Soft Firmness, Melted Sour Worms

Looking to trade for other PF toys in medium size, soft or medium firmness.
With priority to another Illithid, Ogre or kobold.

Sooooo…Elendar canonically eats 3 tadpoles for extra illithid powers. After enduring the zathisk he was swayed from ‘No tadpoles, ever’ to ‘okay maybe just one.’

With the astral tadpole, however, after noticing he was being COMPELLED to take it, if he doesn’t -

Icarus takes pride in his infernal features. The ridges, swirls, and bumps that mark him as a tiefling

Null loves her tattoos and earned scars so much she projects them on her illithid form

Naerym boasts about ALL its scars. Including the botched top surgery one

Also, Xal ate Orpheus’s brain – which, of course, he has no regrets about – and gained his power. But he does not consider this power to be the property of the gith – it is simply power, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Illithid. He appreciates this irony.

Does anyone know why this gnome's face looks like this? He's the one outside Withers' tomb. He almost looks Illithid, is that on purpose? I never noticed it before. #bg3

#Tavember #tavQOTD 1 MONSTROSITY

HalethJr would say Gricks & Otiughs have have had a huge impact on him. He has fought several of each and it's never a pleasant thing, not because they are tough but due to his visceral panic reaction to things with tentacles on their heads (thanks illithid pirate)
#Tavember Day#1: Monstrosity

What Monstrosity has made an impact on your Tav/Durge? What impact?

[This is a creature type with mostly unnatural origin: Displacer Beast, Tressym, Drider, etc]

🍄‍🟫: If your Tav/Durge was a Monstrosity, which one would they be?

I swear I have the eyes of a Drow or Illithid when it comes to light sensitivity. If only I at least also had the amazing eye colors they do, but alas xD

When an Illithid dies it's brain is placed into the elder brain's brine pool and is absorbed by the brain. This gives provides the psionic energy the brain requires.

It sends an impression of itself along with psionic energy to it's body in the Far Realm. This "wakes" the body up.

- fail the wisdom check to avoid consuming the astral tadpole, he *cannot* be convinced to take it again. He refuses. Anything that attempts to make him do something against his will is immediately on his shit list.

Moreover, the idea of marring his good looks by becoming half illithid —
