Malinator is a member of the Elder Concord of Xallistemious.
He is the voice of the thralls, and fights for better care of them. He doesn't
do this out of sentimentality, but from his strong belief that quality thralls
lead to a quality life for all illithids. He hates shoes and other footwear,
believing that a comfortable, unconstrained foot leads to mental well-being.
Thus, he never wears anything on his feet.

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 8th 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.
