Personality and Characteristics
Beholders are selfish bastards who love to manipulate and enslave any races the consider beneath themselves.(i.e. every other species)They are extremely xenophobic even going so far as to kill other individuals of their species, that are different enough to be considered a sub-species. Therefore the beholder race has little in the way of genetic variety (Bullshit, there are a lot of Beholder variants, all of whom hate each other, as listed below). They are greedy, often living in dungeons with valuables stuffed in them. They can cast magic from their eyes and often rule over willing souls. One even managed to rule a highly successful thieves' guild until your character pwned him in Baldur's Gate: Dark alliance.

- Eyeball- Tiny beholder and made of DAAAAAAAAAAAAW!
- Death Tyrant- Basically, a Beholder lich. Yeah, you're probably fucked.

- Hive Mother/Hive Tyrant- Basically a bigger meaner beholder that holds other beholders under its sway. Replaced with the Hive Tyrant in 4E because -4 Str. yes, this applies even though the Beholders are genderless.
- Overseer- A beholderkin that looks like a giant fleshy tree trunk with several eyestalks, mouths, and tentacles at the base. Yes, I realize that it looks nothing like a beholder, but the book says it is so fuck it, let's call it a beholder.
- Eye of the Deep- It's like a beholder BUT UNDERWATER! And it tastes oddly of shrimp.
