Ulitharid

The Nobles of the Illithid society, born to gifts of strength, length, vile intellect and thus greatness and admiration and are treated as minor godly beings by their normal brethren.

The tadpoles that become Ulitharid are normal and look normal but are changed by some unknown source. The true nature of the tadpole is not shown until Ceremorphosis shows the extra pair of extremely long tentacles in place of mouth. They are nastier and have a harsher temper then normal mind flayers. The chance of a Ulitharid to be born is less then one in a hundred.

The Ulitharid are really the elite or noble of the mind flayer society, they are treated by there lesser brethren as a blessing and are only second to the Elder brain. There ego reflects there status: they view the common mind flayer as a less being just as they look upon Urophions.
