Illiabsterthid is an elected official, elected by the Elder Concord.  As the Controller of the community, he is in charge of all the accountants.  He answers primarily to Abstermious the Elder. He taps his fingers impatiently most of the time, and has a large purple birthmark on his bulbous head. He is a very skilled accountant, and knows the law better than most illithid aedileators. He sponsors groups of illithid merchants that venture forth into the underground worlds to engage thrall races in trade, for wealth is the single most important element in his life.  He tends to use flowery speech and long words when he speaks with others.  He has useful information about illithid trade activities and in other underground races.

Mind Blast (Sp): This attack is 60 feet long.  Anyone caught in this cone must succeed at a Will save (DC 17) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds.

Psionics (Sp): At Will – Astral projection, charm monster, detect thoughts, levitate, plane shift, and suggestion.  These abilities are as the spells cast by an 8^th level sorcerer (Save DC 13+ spell level)

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the mind flayer must hit a small to large critter with its tentacle attack.  If it gets a hold, it attaches the tentacle to the opponent's head.  After a successful grab, it can try to attach its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check .

Extract (Ex): A mind flayer that begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and successfully maintains its hold automatically extracts the opponent's brain, instantly killing the creature.

Telepathy (Su): Mind flayers can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.
