Aboleth
Contrary to popular belief, the head of the aboleth doesn't expand because he's adding the memories of their spawns to their own -- they are, at birth, holding the genetic memories of their ancestors since the beginning of the world, what they can add through ingesting wouldn't change their morphology significantly. No, their head grow because they need to feed upon larger and larger preys as they grow in size.
An elder aboleth using its psionic powers to invite his followers for dinner.
They don't care about assimilating their spawn's knowledge, only their nutrients. Once they're finished with tender elves and crunchy dwarves, they'll start adding juicy ogres to their diet.
Note: I missed that the official description insists of the three eyes to be on top of each other. I kind of like them as is, though.
Here's a more faithful, and more alien, version. The black holes are the vents through which the aboleth spit its poison.
