====Beholderkin==== * '''Gauth''': Basically, babby's first beholder, with only 6 eyestalks of doom and a reduced ability to disintegrate everyone and eats magic. Looks like a smaller beholder with a ring of useless extra eyes around the central eye and four of its ten stalks don't have eyes on the end. <gallery> Gauth.png Gauth poster.jpg Gauth VG 5e.png </gallery> * '''Eyeball''': Tiny beholder, best used as a familiar. Pretty damn adorable for a beholder, still Neutral Evil. They have four eye stalks with ray of frost, cause fear, daze, and mage hand and can only use one of them at a time. The central eye doesn't do anything. <gallery> Eyeball MF 3e.png </gallery> * '''Death Kiss''': instead of dispensing death-beams from its eyestalks, they use them to suck your blood. Their only eye has no powers, but they release electric shocks when they are injured. Introduced in Dragon #59 as the Bleeder. <gallery> Bleeder Dragon 59.png Behodeathkiss.gif Death kiss.png Death kiss poster.jpg Hookhand.png DeathKiss VG 5e.png </gallery> * '''Astereater''': giant space-faring asteroid beholderkin with no eyestalks that eats your ship. For some reason it likes to enslave [[Giff]] to use as soldiers. [[Spelljammer]] was weird. Beholders and other beholderkin insist that they have no relation to them. <gallery> Astereater MCS1.jpg </gallery> * '''Examiner''': Four eyestalks, four limbs, and no central eye. Their limbs let them use tools and weapons, and they can create magic items. They also regenerate 1 hit point every round. <gallery> Examiner poster.jpg </gallery> * '''Observer''': A powerful psionic beholder with a hard shell, six eye-stalks, three large eyes spaced evenly around its middle, and three mouths on the ends of long retractable stalks that suck blood similar to a death kiss. It uses its psionic abilities to brainwash other monsters into its loyal servants. Less evil than other beholders. <gallery> Behoobserver.gif Observer MA.png Observer poster.jpg </gallery> * '''Lensman''': Beholder infantry. The lowest of all beholderkin, or at least until the Eyeball was introduced. Imagine a starfish, then add a giant eye and mouth in the middle of its body, then replace four of its five arms with the arms and legs of an ape. The eye may have one of six different powers. They do not levitate but their limbs allow them to use weapons and tools. <gallery> Lensman MA.jpg </gallery> * '''Watcher''': the second lowest of beholderkin. Has three normal eyes around its body and a large compound eye on the top surrounded by six eyespots, and a single tentacle on the bottom which can inflict electric shocks. Its three regular eyes each have two different powers, and the compound eye can use three of those powers. Can cast the message and tongues spells. They are cowardly and mainly act as scouts for their more powerful cousins. <gallery> Watcher poster.jpg </gallery> * '''Spectator''': true neutral beholderkin. It's actually pretty swell, as far as beholders go. Remember that one beholder in Baldur's Gate? They can be summoned with a ritual using four beholder's eyestalks. They make excellent guards since they are content to spend very long periods of time in deep contemplation and don't need to be fed since they can magically create their own food. Has only four eye-stalks and the central eye reflects magic instead. <gallery> Spectator 1e.png Spectator MC FR.jpg Spectator MA.png Spectator poster.jpg Spectator 3e.jpg Rero rero.png </gallery> * '''Overseer''': a beholderkin that looks like a giant fleshy tree trunk with thirteen eyestalk branches, tentacles for roots, no central eye, and several mouths at the base. Yes, we realize that it looks nothing like a beholder, but the book says it is so fuck it, let's call it a beholder. Like the hive mother, it also has the ability to dominate other beholders and beholderkin. In large beholder cities, the Hive Mother dominates the Overseers, who then dominated other beholders and kin for her, thus greatly increasing the number of a beholders a Hive Mother can control at one time. <gallery> Overseer.jpg Overseer poster.jpg </gallery> * '''Eye of the Deep''': it's like a beholder BUT UNDERWATER! And it tastes oddly of shrimp. Also, it's got little arms with crab-pincers. Only has two eye stalks and the central eye can flash blinding light. Also can cast the spell persistent image, which it uses to create [[Trap|illusions of mermaids]] and other things to lure victims closer. Rarely interacts with other kinds of beholders due to them living in different environments. <gallery> Eyeofdeep.jpg Aquatic Beholder.png Eye of the deep Dragon 93.jpg Eye of the deep.jpg Eye of the deep poster.jpg Eyeofthedeep 3e.jpg </gallery> * '''Director''': beholder cavalry. A beholderkin with six eyestalks and three tentacles on the bottom that it uses to bond with and ride vermin, usually giant centipedes. Because haven't we all wanted to ride a giant centipede like a pony up and down the streets... SHUT UP, I DON'T JUDGE YOU! Has six eye stalks and its central eye generates a protective forcefield around itself and its mount. <gallery> Director MA.jpg Director.png Director poster.jpg </gallery> * '''Gouger''': A beholderkin created to fight beholders. In the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting, they were created by [[Phaerimm]]s. Larger than regular beholders and has four small useless legs hanging off of its body. It has the same number of eyes as a standard beholder but does not have any eye powers other than the central antimagic eye. It attacks with a 15 foot long barbed tongue which it uses to disable other beholder's eyes. <gallery> Gouger MF 3e.png </gallery> * '''[[Gorbel]]''': Six eye stalks without any eye powers, no central eye, rubbery flesh that causes blunt weapons to harmlessly bounce off, and a pair of claws. They are stupid and try to eat anything that moves. Its claws are so strong that once it has grabbed a creature it is impossible to shake off until it is dead and its body is filled with gas that explodes on contact with air so do your best to kill them before they grab you or figure out a way to kill it without rupturing it. <gallery> Gorbel 1e.jpg Gorbel 2e.gif </gallery> * '''Orbus''': An albino dwarf beholder with no eyes other than the anti-magic central eye but is a powerful spellcaster. They are only seen in the [[Spelljammer]] setting on beholder ships, which they are bred to power and navigate.
