Dark Eye

A little something I whipped up. It’s a level 4 Elite so you could use them for the lowbies in life and give them nightmares and the heebie jeebies when they hear there’s a big boy beholder waiting for them somewhere.

Dark Eye’s although not truly related to Beholders are very similar in appearance and in many cases they play on this by those that don’t really know the difference. They tend to employ some humanoid races as servants and are fond of using goblinoid races because they’re easily cowed into submission.
