Dnd Mind Slayer Race

The Mind Slay­ers, also known as Illithids, are a ter­ri­fy­ing and alien race of psion­ic beings. They orig­i­nate from the dis­tant plan­et Zerathu­un, a world that exists entire­ly under their dom­i­na­tion. With their pale skin, ten­ta­cled faces, and over­whelm­ing men­tal pow­ers, they are mas­ters of dom­i­na­tion and manip­u­la­tion.

Once they ruled from the shad­ows, but those days are long gone. The Mind Slay­ers now reign open­ly.

Planet Zerathuun

Zerathu­un is a world that lives and breathes under Illithid con­trol. The plan­et serves as the heart of their empire, a breed­ing ground for psion­ic exper­i­ments, dom­i­nance and arcane knowl­edge. Oth­er races, such as the Zerathu­u­ni, are noth­ing more than ser­vants here, bro­ken, recon­di­tioned, or ful­ly assim­i­lat­ed.

The Mind Slay­ers use Zerathu­un as a stag­ing ground for their plans to sub­ju­gate oth­er worlds.

Overlords

The Illithids rule through absolute men­tal dom­i­na­tion. Indi­vid­ual will means noth­ing to them; every­thing exists to serve the col­lec­tive. Mag­ic, knowl­edge, and liv­ing beings are treat­ed as resources. Escape from their influ­ence is rare, and those who man­age it are hunt­ed with­out mer­cy.

Appearance

Mind Slay­ers are tall, gaunt humanoids with smooth, pal­lid skin and heads dom­i­nat­ed by four writhing ten­ta­cles sur­round­ing a tooth­less mouth. Their eyes are cold and emp­ty, yet any­one who meets their gaze can feel the crush­ing pres­sure of their pres­ence, as if their thoughts no longer belong to them.

Drak’zuhl

A noto­ri­ous Mind Slay­er enforcer and hunter, Drak’zuhl is tasked with track­ing down escaped crea­tures from oth­er races and elim­i­nat­ing threats to Illithid suprema­cy. He has recent­ly been sight­ed in your D&D world, pur­su­ing a fugi­tive, and pos­si­bly some­thing far more dan­ger­ous.

The Elder Brain

At the pin­na­cle of Mind Slay­er soci­ety is an ancient and malev­o­lent enti­ty known as Xul’thekar, the Elder Brain. This immense, pul­sat­ing mass of brain tis­sue com­mands the Illithid col­lec­tive through pure psion­ic force. Xul’thekar does not see your world as a coin­ci­dence, but as a strate­gic tar­get in the next phase of their expan­sion.
