Nightmarish, alien invaders from another time and place, illithid typically live in societies of their own kind, hidden away from the light of the sun. They feed on the brain matter of living creatures, preferably the grey cells of other sapient beings, to sustain themselves and fuel their strange and unnatural powers. Notorious as the “mind flayers” on dozens of worlds, the illithid are possessed of a desire to dominate and master all things around themselves, and they famously use their advanced mental powers to force other beings into thralldom.

Still, members of illithid-kind can and do take up the adventuring life, from time to time, though almost always under rare and extraordinary circumstances. Leaving the collective networked intelligence of their own kind diminishes any illithids that brave the outside world, severely reducing the potency of most of their natural psionic abilities. Most illithids encountered outside their citadels and outposts are either spies, renegades unwelcome in their communities, or have been banished for crimes even their alien moralities find unspeakable.

This miniature is printed and ready to ship! My minis are printed in photopolymer resin and UV cured to be table-ready, and scaled for D&D, Pathfinder, and similar tabletop RPGs. 3D printed models can have small bumps on the surface where support structure is removed, but I make every effort to clean up models so that they are ready for primer and paint. Cured resin is a hard but brittle material, so be careful not to drop.

This miniature comes pre-fixed to it’s own unique 25mm base.
