[QUOTE="Emongnome, post: 427188, member: 7061"] I have the 2E "I, Tyrant" that had all sorts of relatively interesting, but mostly useless information about beholders. If you choose to use these "rules", then here goes: Beholders create an internal gas called tiusium, that is lighter than air and allows them to float non-magically. It is stored in small pockets around it's shell, so while piercing them may release a small amount of gas, it has no effect on a beholder's movements. The largest pocket is located above it's skull, allowing it to float upright, though it may choose to float upside down if it wants to. It turns by way of small "air thrusters" controlled by it's lungs. The only reference I can find about dead ones is that normal burial procedures for beholders involve digging a big hole in the ground and other beholders using telekinesis to lower it into the hole. That would indicate that the do indeed float after death. Also, when it dies, it's skin turns to stone within hours, so the fly issue with floating beholder graveyards will be a moot point. [/QUOTE]
