The Illithid, otherwise known as a Mind Flayer is a creature which populates the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game. Nasty creatures, they are both highly intelligent and devious, possessing both great cunning and psionic powers. Oh yeah, and they eat brains. How cool is that?

Disclaimer: Now, before all you hardcore RPG'ers out there start raising a stink, let me state for the record that, yes, I know the Illithid is not traditionally represented with external ears, but thats just the way I drew it.
