First Post
Since beholders and beholderkin are some of my favorite monsters, I thought some of the more obscure ones needed converting. Any beholderkin that is in a 3e or 3.5e book is not converted here. The layout of the monster stats aren't perfect, but you should have no trouble understanding them. If you have any questions or want me to add anything (like flavor-text or an explanation of what the monsters look like) just ask. The last twwo monsers here are not beholders, but mounts for beholders.

Improved grab: To use this ability, an observer must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. On a successful check, it can use it's blood drain
Blood drain: 1d3 con damage
Gaze: Each of the creature’s main eyes projects a powerhl ray of telekinetic force that can have one of three effects: First, it can simulate Bigby’s forceful hand, driving back one creature at the rate of 20 feet per round. Creatures weighing up to 500 pounds can be so affected, and creatures between 500 and 1,000 pounds cannot advance closer to the observer while its gaze remains on them. Creatures over 1,000 pounds can advance only at the speed of 10 feet per round. Second, the gaze of the main eyes can be used to strike telekinetic blows inflicting damage equal to 1d12+10 points. Third, it can automatically deflect all physical missiles fired at the creature from the 120 degree arc in front of the eye. The main eyes have a range of 100 yards.
Psionics: an observer manifests powers as a 10th level wilder with some exceptions. The observer has 230 power points per day and has access to powers whose level is normally too high for a 10th level wilder. These powers are listed under the powers known by the observer.

A trapped creature can escape by dealing 12 points of damage to the inside of the astereater (AC 17). The asterater cannot attack if it has someone in it's stomach.

Improved Grab: When a gorbel hits with it's claw attack, it can start a grapple without provoking an attack of opportunity. If successful, the gorbel establishes a hold and automatically deals claw damage.
Explosion: when struck with an edged weapon, magic, or by another exploding gorbel, the gorbel explodes, dealing 1d4 points of damage to all creatures within 5 feet. This sometimes causes chain reactions of exploding gorbels.
