Ulitharid

❌

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

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

The Ulitharid were really the elite or noble of the mind flayer society, they were treated by their lesser brethren as a blessing and were second only to the Elder brain. Their ego reflected their status: they viewed the common mind flayer as a lesser being om par with how as they looked upon Urophions.

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

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