Illithid body tamers were illithids who focused on martial skill over psionic prowess.[1]
Description[]
Illithid body tamers followed a discipline called the "Tamer Creed". This creed dictated that only a potent military force would ensure the illithid society's future existence. They maintained that only by abstaining from psionics would they strengthen their considerably frail bodies sufficiently enough to become accomplished warriors.[1]
Abilities[]
These illithids followed a code of mental abstinence. As such, they trained their bodies for combat and forwent the use of their psionic abilities. Illithid body tamers could improve the fortitude of their bodies. Needless to say, such a payoff was valuable for a race of admittedly physically weak individuals. Such mind flayers were able to use their tentacles as weapons. These illithid body tamers could power whirlwind attacks, which could potentially kill their opponents instantly.[1]
