They can shift from one elemental plane to another at will, and attune themselves to whichever elemental plane they are on, gaining spell-like abilities based on the plane and cannon summon elementals of that type.  They look like adolescent humans with a silvery sheen to their skin.Originally found in Planescape Monstrous Compendium 2ArgenachOutsider, CR 14These rilmani serve as both advisors and agitators, particularly on Material Plane.  They serve in conflicts on whichever side is weakest, and hamper the strongest.  They can fire a ray of silvery light from their hands that deals a different energy type, depending on what their foe is vulnerable to.  These rilmani look like tall, slender humanoids with smooth, silvery skin.Originally found in Planescape Monstrous Compendium 2PlumachOutsider, CR 5These are the common citizens, craftspeople, and workers of rilmani society.  They do not work to maintain the balance in anywhere other than the Outlands, but are tough little buggers when it comes to defending their home.  They resemble dwarves with dull grey metallic skin.Originally found in Planescape Monstrous Compendium 2Alternates:Archrilmani: Half-Rilmani: If you could imagine one of these guys being incited to passion enough to produce one, that is…Monsters of the MindThis article would feature creatures related to illithids – creatures created by them, things populating their territories, or their enemies.  I would also want to add some information about the process of ceremorphosis (the process by which illithid-creatures are created), as well as information about worlds dominated by mind flayers.UlitharidAberration, CR 10Mind flayer nobility, these monstrosities rule over their lesser kin and are the caretakers of the community’s elder brain.  They look like larger mind flayers with six tentacles instead of four, and a greenish tinge to their mauve skin, and fine robes and headdress.  Their mind blast feebleminds instead of stunning, they have more psionics, and they can recover wounds as a monk can.Originally found in Dungeon Magazine #24UrophionAberration, CR 12This is a mind flayer creation, mixing illithids with ropers, and guards their underground lairs.  It drags opponents like a roper, but instead of biting it extracts the creature’s brain.  It also has psionics and a mind blast, and various resistances.  This looks like a roper with purple-gray skin, Originally found in The IllithiadIllithidaeAberration (template, CR varies)These are the flora and fauna of worlds dominated by mind flayers – the inhospitable climate has caused normal creatures to evolve or die out.  These monsters are amphibious, and many have brain-sucking tentacles, psionics, or both.  Most of them look like highly mutated versions of the base creature.Originally found in Dragon Magazine #150GohlbrornMagical Beast, CR 3This is an underground relative of the bulette that attacks from surprise, using intelligent pack tactics.  They can launch stones from their gullet as projectiles.  Their thick armor hide reflects the color of surrounding stone and rock, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings.Originally found in Dragon Magazine Annual #1IllithocyteAberration, CR 2These were illithid tadpoles that evolved into a new species of squirming slug-things to survive.  They are nearly mindless and aggressive, and form together in large masses, slapping with 4 tentacles.Originally found in Dawn of the OvermindVoor LarvaAberration, CR 8These large, evil skeletal insectoids are the last of their kind.  Having been wiped out by illithids, some eggs survived to hunt down that hated race.  They can stun their foes with their sharp trilling sound, and their poison deals Con damage.  They are immune to psionic attacks.  Their bodies are composed of organics mixed with metal, crystal, glass, or stone.Originally found in Dawn of the OvermindDraknorAberration, CR(Essentially, it is a gargantuan aberration that is highly-intelligent, attacks six times per round, is immune to mind blast, and has a 5d12 heat ray.)Originally found in Dungeon Magazine #24Mind WormAberration, CR 17These are huge, worm-like creatures with the ability to magically swallow creatures from across two reflective surfaces.  It has a mind blast, psionics, a fear effect, Con drain, and can create probe worms that crackle with red energy, to scry for distances away.  This looks like a purple worm, but with sickly pale flesh that constantly drips water.New creatureNerve SwimmersAberration (swarm), CR 10These minute worm-like creatures burrow into flesh to cause horrible pain, and are used as torture and interrogation devices.  They can dominate a host and discern lies.New creatureBrainstealer DragonDragon, CR varies by age categoryThese dragons are a horrible mixing of illithids and draconic creatures, sometimes working with illithids, or dominating them, or earning their enmity.  They have four tentacles in place of a head, with which to devour brains, and have pale purple, rubbery tentacles and bloated white eyes and near-useless fleshy wings.New creatureAlternates:Yaggol – a lesser illithid race originally from the Dragonlance setting.Pirates of Gith – another offshoot of the gith races, from the Spelljammer setting</blockquote>
