Humanoid corpses animated by the rot reavers, hideous tumor-covered ape-things whose necrotic saliva saps the life of the living and animates the dead. Whenever they get hungry, the aberrations just go to the zombie pits, hack off a few limbs, and move on.Emotion generators. Huge pulsing semi-organic gems mounted into ceilings. The illithids use them as a form of social entertainment - they project into the mind feelings like pride, satisfaction, and superiority. And then they can be turned into defensive points, triggering emotions like despair, hopelessness and uncontrollable rage in intruders.As for treasure, I think the perfect example of the sort of thing you're looking for is the "magus fin" from the novel The Scar. It's a piece of organic tissue mounted in a statue, and a human "kisses" the statue, letting it bite his tongue, in order to gain its power - the ability to walk through walls, camouflage and a breath weapon of acid - for a short period of time. But the more it's used, the more it changes the user, warping their flesh and driving them insane (Dex and Wis damage, maybe? Pseudonatural template eventually).Demiurge out.</blockquote>
