* '''Hive Mother/[[Hive Tyrant]]''': The highest ranked of all beholders and beholderkin.  Basically a bigger meaner beholder that holds beholders and beholderkin under its sway.  It has the ability to control other beholders and beholderkin, and has the ability spawn new kinds of beholderkin specialized for different tasks.  Beholder hives are almost always ruled by a Hive Mother, which keeps the different kinds of beholders and kin from killing each other, and when Hive Mothers belonging to the same breed come together, they can form beholder cities.  In 2nd edition, Hive Mothers have their smaller eyes set in a ring around their head instead of being on the ends of stalks, making them less maneuverable but also less vulnerable to being cut off, while in 3rd edition they are just extra large beholders.
