Medusa & Mind Flayer "couple" - where is it?

[Rystil Arden]

Yeah...this thread made me want to look at that picture and I ended up showing it to my girlfriend, who immediately picked up on the silliness of the caption by saying that wasn't a very tough choice. Yeah, it's sweet that the Succubi are in love (assuming that they actually are) but in the grand scheme of things that's never really a get out of smiting free card if you're an evil fiendish monster.

See, this is why it pays to be a Chaotic Good Paladin of Freedom with Smite Law.

"You succubi seem to be expressing your freedom of sexual orientation. I'll defend your right to same-sex couples because there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian, despite what tyrannical laws might say!"

"Lesbian? No we're bi. Care to join us?"

"Okay! Let me cast Death Ward! Momma always said not to leave home without protection!..."

... but ... mind flayers ... ceremorphosis ... they're not even sexual creatures, damnit!

Well, humans are usually male or female but hermaphrodites have actually existed as well as many other conditions that would count as gender anomalies. With the life cycle of the mindflayer being the taking over of another creatures body of just about any humanoid (IIRC), I can only imagine there are plenty of chances for things to "go wrong". Then, you could always have a mind flayer with a twist who conducted experiments to become female or at least features of such, especially if it identified with a gender or found it helpful. They are prone to body grafts (again IIRC).
