Name that Mindflayer

[Scrivener of Doom]

Fantastic! Couldn't have asked for more

You're welcome.

The only other sources I haven't trawled are the Spelljammer products....

Illithiad - Geddeil
Drizzt Books - Elviddinvelp (probably missing some apostrophes)

Dragon 281 had name generator tables for some Underdark races including the illithids.

And the suffix table included these:

-ordell

So "B'ruce C'Ordell" could be a mind flayer?

That would explain The Strange....

Mindflayers don't speak. They use mental telepathy. They don't need to introduce themselves as their minds are so indelibly them they are instantly recognizable like bloodhounds. And with their vast intelligence they are likely to never forget any of the minds they've met, including yours. (Like they care what throat noises you use to identify yourself)

But if you must:
"Squeal-hiss-flap-growl"
and variations thereof.

Hehe.

Yeah, when I typed that I was actually thinking of just omitting it for being that sort of gratuitous self-indulgence that I despise in RPG products....

There are some named Mind Flayers in various Dungeon adventures too, although the only one I can recall offhand is Zyrxog the illithid sorcerer from The Hall of Harsh Reflections in Dungeon #127.
