DUDE!! Where the heck is the Mind Flayer??

Paradigm Concepts sent "The Essential Guide to Mind Flayers" (which I co-wrote) to print after the revised SRD was released.

I didn't even realize you helped with that one. That's a very cool book!

Oh, yeah, that'll pacify them WOTC lawyers.

I don't get it. They claim Mind Flayers, despite being obviously Cthonian, Yuan-ti, not exactly an original concept, and a few other obscure ones, yet don't bother to claim the obviously D&D monster, which is even genetically adapted to graph paper, the Gelatinous Cube?

Gelatinous Cube's aren't cool or sexy.

Also, a Mind Flayer is not "obviously a cthonian," as someone earlier suggested. A cthonian is huge, and in no way anthropomorphic - though a good case could be made to suggest they are Cthulhu without wings, or Star Spawn.

It could be said that the Grick, however, are small Cthonians.

Now, the real question is whether or not Meepo would fall under IP?
