[QUOTE="Richards, post: 151508, member: 508"] Of course, there's nothing saying that any beholder you use must necessarily be at "full power." How about a battle-damaged beholder missing a few eyestalks? (Don't think the PCs will last long against the beholder's disintegration ray? Then that eyestalk was ripped out during a recent battle.) You could even have its central eye poked out if necessary to get rid of the anti-magic ray; the beholder's not going to be too happy about that, but it'll have plenty of other eyes on its eyestalks to still allow it to see. You can even use this "downgrading for CL reasons" explanation to tie directly into the battle: perhaps the beholder received its recent battle damage from a group of adventurers, and now holds a grudge and isn't too keen on differentiating between those that wounded it and any other adventurers that happen along...
