However, illithid society prefers to focus on the creatures’ true heritage of psionic mastery. As a result, excessive study of magic is considered a distraction at best and an offense at worst. Mind flayers that persistently violate this stricture suffer the ultimate punishment; they are banned from joining with the elder brain upon their deaths.For that reason, mind flayers that study magic, and especially sorcery, devote the better part of their attention to devising ways to extend their lives unnaturally. The ultimate goal is to become a lich. Those that succeed at becoming liches are known as alhoons to other mind flayers, or illithiliches in the Common tongue.An alhoon conforms to all the normal rules for adding the lich template to a humanoid, except as noted below.Mind Flayer Vampire, Illithid Vampire, Vampiric Mind Flayer, Vampiric Illithid: Even stranger than illithid sorcerers are illithid vampires. How they come to be is unknown. Unlike other vampires, they do not create spawn or propagate their kind by leaving victims wounded but not yet undead.Vampiric mind flayers are enigmas. Their origins are unknown, as they cannot spawn other vampires. They need both fresh blood and fresh brains to survive. Furthermore, they are feral, unreasoning killers, with no hint of the formidable intellect they possessed in life. Whatever process transforms a mind flayer into a vampiric state also destroys its rationality.It is not derived from adding the vampire template to a mind flayer.Gnoll Skeleton, Skeleton Minion: ?Alhoon, Horrendously Formidable Foe: ?Mind Flayer Vampire, Enigma, Feral Unreasoning Killer, Unique Specific Form of Undead: ?Death Tyrant, Truly Reprehensible Creature, Undead Beholder Akin to a Zombie Though They Retain Some Innate Magical Abilities, Guardian: ?Intelligent Undead: ?Nonintelligent Undead: ?Mind Flayer Lich Sorcerer 12: ?Undead, Undead Creature: ?Gaunt Hairless Creature: ?Undead Graft: ?Powerful Lich: ?Ancient Human Necromancer-Lich: ?Lich, Inedible Neighbor: ?Drowned Mummy, Sinister Guardian: ?Mummy: ?Shadow: ?Skeleton, Human Skeleton: ?Vampiric Creature: An aboleth savant attempts to transform itself into a vampiric creature.Powerful Vampire: ?Wight: ?Wraith: ?Zombie: ?Animated Dead: ?</blockquote>
