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 a 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 their lesser brethren as a blessing and are second only to the Elder brain. Their ego reflects their status: they view the common mind flayer as a lesser being, just as they look upon Urophions.

Combat
An extremely dangerous foe in combat with its powerful mental attacks and long reach, they also posses a psionic protection somewhat like mage armor.

Their mental powers are their greatest weapon. Wielding Mind blasts and charms, suggestions and dominations of the mind for both man and beast. They also posses the powers to shift planes and create dimension doors.
