Mind Flayer/Illithid

[Talvisota]

Apologizing if this is common knowledge, but as an on-again, off-again player, I only have and use the SRD. I noticed that the mind flayer/Illithid is nowhere to be found in the monster section of the SRD and was wondering why this is the case. Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Thanks!

There are some other monsters not in the SRD because they're considered IP of of WotC. If you want the stats, you have to use the books.

Check out entries for displacer beast, carrior crawler, and beholder while you are at it.

Yeah, when WotC put out the final, official SRD, they excluded certain creatures as being special uniquely D&D IP.

Well, that makes sense. Looks like I'll have to get the MM.

Thanks, guys!

Or, you could just get Dead Gods instead.

OK, now I'm stretching a little.
