D&D 2024 monster: Mindwitness. Source: Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. challenge rating 5, creature type Aberration, Large size, speed 0 f... If a beholder is stunned and brought to the brine pool of an elder brain, the beholder can be converted into a mindwitness. This alters some of its eye rays and transforms four of its eyestalks into tentacles similar to a mind flayer's. The mindwitness is psychically imprinted with devotion to the elder brain and submission to illithid commands. A mindwitness's primary function is to improve telepathic communication in a mind flayer colony. A creature in telepathic communication with a mindwitness can converse through it to as many as seven other creatures the mindwitness can see, rapidly disseminating commands and other information. If separated from its illithid masters, a mindwitness seeks out other telepathic creatures to tell it what to do. Mindwitnesses have been known to ally with flumph and planar beings such as demons, shifting their worldview and alignment to match those of their new masters. Aberration Large 0 ft., fly 20 ft.
