D&D 5E Who's That Beholder?

[GX.Sigma]

So, the fire giant on the PHB is King Snurre.

The lich on the DMG is Acererak. Not much resemblance to the 1e or 4e pictures, but officially it's him.

So, the question remains... Who's the beholder on the MM?

Anyone recognize it?

Xanathar, the crime-lord beholder of Skullport (below Waterdeep).

Cheers!

Xanathar, the crime-lord beholder of Skullport (below Waterdeep).

That's my guess, too.

It doesn't look like any of the Xanathars we've seen, though (and is in a very un-Xanathar situation):

Dont forget his first appearance:

I'm pretty sure that's the beholder from the Dungeons & Dragons movie that gets distracted by the old 'throw a rock in one direction and we'll run the other way' trick.

That's okay. Look at the pics you posted. None of the Xanathars we've seen look like each other, either. Maybe he's a master of disguise, or something.

You know that "18" is not actually Acererak, right?


He is tricky that way.

All beholders look the same to me anyway.

You totally spoiled that adventure, I was totally going to play it sometime!
