Xalli'arint is an elected official from the Elder Concord and is responsible for auditing the community's financial management. Due to strange skin pigmentation, he has thirteen light pink splotches all over his bulbous head. He is knowledgeable about illithid law and is skilled at rooting out misappropriations of community funds. For him, wealth is the ultimate power and a constant concern for him. He has notable nervous habits… particularly with his twitching tentacles.

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.
