I think the reason that I do that is that the Illithids are EVIL! They have so many negative connotations that I treat Illithid as a negative word! Does that make sense? Not even really to me, but I am guessing that's where my reasoning came from.Actually it might be interesting to design the Lithid race, from whom the Illithids are an evil offshoot. What would they look like? And would they still have the need for brains, or is that a wicked practise that's become fixed in the illithids? Since the suggestion is that illithids use parasitisation to create the adult form, then we are either into the realms of the Stargate Goa'uld/Tok'ra divide, or the illithids have changed their breeding patterns wilfully in order to force the divide. The more I think of this the more I think there could be an interesting campaign idea here!And all this from one little word! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
