[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4812006, member: 54846"] Illithids/Beholders/Aboleths as a [i]race[/i] certainly can be looking to enslave/gain wealth, but individuals and individual groups can have their own plots. Consider wanting to be worshiped. Wanting more power. Or that one of the aberrations gets it in their head that they have insight into one of the Entities Beyond, and therefore are carrying out its wishes. Experimenting to create new entities. The aberrations could be all about "Making more of myself". Or opening a bigger hole in the Far Realms, to let more things cross over.
