Kanabar was a beholder that dwelled within the Greypeak Mountains during the late 14th century DR.[1]

You wouldn't lie to poor Kanabar would you? Not when Kanabar told the others he had a use for you?
— Kanabar, to his "friend" Aris.[1]

History[]

Kanabar was among those beholders enthralled by the phaerimm that escaped from the Sharn Wall within the depths of the Shaeradim in the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR. The eye tyrants were ordered to hunt down the Shadovar sorcerer Melegaunt Tanthul and then wipe out the stone giant settlement of Thousand Faces in the Greypeaks.[1]

During the takeover of Thousand Faces, Kanabar charmed a lone giant by the name of Aris, sparing his life from its fellow beholders. Some time later, the elven warrior Galaeron Nihmedu rescued Aris and incapacitated Kanabar with a shadowy, gum-like material, and used its own anti-magic ray to undo the charm placed upon him. Finally freed, the stone giant gripped the devious floating eye in his palm and smashed it on the cliff side like a ripe melon.[1]
