Name that Mindflayer

[Will Doyle]

Can anyone find any examples of Mindflayer names from official modules / articles / novels?

I'm guessing Cthulhuoid names like "Ach'tkjar'thk" or "Gyr'hzzuk", but I'd like to know for sure.

I keep a list of names by Ed Greenwood from various products but I noted only two from illithids: Alorxlan and Xameelg. I prefer names in that vein to those with superfluous apostrophes.

2E had The Illithiad and a trilogy of supporting adventures. Here are some of the name: Drukt, Sard, Sult, Aurangaul, Ralayn, S'venchen, and Shuluth. I'll go through the adventures tomorrow and add to the list.

Thanks Scrivener - much appreciated!

What about this guy?

There was ... bit of internet searching.... etriss, from the cloakmaster spelljammer novel series, although he was assuredly rather atypical of his race.

What about this guy?

THEY CALL ME MR. DOUG! TO YOU LUNCH!

In a R A Salvatore novel, that would be P'hil.

Dragon 281 had name generator tables for some Underdark races including the illithids.

The prefix table included these:

Abster-
Al-
Illi-
Ilsen-
Lugri-
Maanze-
Malin-
Quas-
Uli-
Ullip-
Urop-
Xalli-

And the suffix table included these:

-arint
-ator, -tor
-bossk
-corian
-hion
-hoon
-mious
-ordell
-sine
-tharid
-thelid
-thid

I'll get back to the illithid adventures shortly....
