I just went through and watched the D&D4 videos that WotC created back before D&D4 was released.
Something that struck me was the interviewer mentioning to the Beholder, "...they're making you into a solo monster. You'll be able to take on a whole party of adventurers all on your own."
The Beholder gets all emotional at that.
When were beholders not able to take on a whole party alone? I can't recall ever seeing more than one beholder in any single encounter in all my years of playing D&D. Have you ever set up or encountered multiple beholders in one battle? How'd it go?
I'm just now sitting here imagining a company (squadron?) of beholders floating across a battlefield zapping soldiers with their eye beams. That could be totally awesome!
