They fly and are easily disguised as fog or smoke.Note that Eye Rays are (Su), so they work great on opponents with low Will saves even if they have SR. So, your smarter Beholder -- and that's all of them -- will have a few Drow Fighters or Rogues in their service.Of course, the classic charmable monsters -- Ogre Barbarians, Bugbear Fighters, Goblin Rogues, Trolls -- are also prime choices.Consider an alliance with a Dark Naga Sorcerer 7 -- total Sorcerer caster level 14, CR 15, potential spell list:1: Alarm, Exp. Retreat, Magic Missile, Shield, Shocking Grasp2: Acid Arrow, Mirror Image, Resist Energy, Touch of Idiocy, False Life3: Dispel Magic, Fireball, Fly, Suggestion4: Dimension Door, Greater Invisibility, Polymorph, Scrying5: Dominate Person, Persistant Image, Wall of Force6: Chain Lightning, Planar Binding -- look, ma, more minions! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />7: Greater TeleportPlanar Minions -- these will tend towards LE, due to the Dark Naga and Beholder's alignments also being LE:- Barbed Devil (12 HD).- Chain Devil (8 HD) -- add 4 levels of Fighter for extra fun (Weapon Focus (Chain), Power Attack, Weapon Spec (Chain)).- Hellcat (8 HD) -- note that their Invisibility is (Ex), so it will work within the anti-magic cone.- Greater Barghest (9 HD) -- they have a good reason to be on the Prime, since they need to feed.Who could the Beholder threaten into service? Would the PCs hate you more if the minions who were trying to kill them weren't actually evil?- weak fey (especially those who are bound to a place or feature -- like a Dryad)- underground folk (gnomes, halflings, kobolds -- though PCs don't often mind killing kobolds)- anything land-bound with a poor Will or Fort save, and an Int over 6Hope this helps, -- N</blockquote>
