Elder Beholders
Elder beholders are the masters of that necromantic race. They have grown
enormously over times and outlived the usual lifespan of its kind by
cheating death in some sinister way with its necromantic powers. Just like
the size of this creature has enlarged also its evilness and power has
done. Its magic outshines that of an ordinary beholder and its mastery of
the necromantic arts has reached levels that had so far been unknown to
beholders. It is them who spawn the dreaded gazers that grow into new
beholders and ensure the existence of the race. It is them who lead the
other species of their kind with an iron will and brutal suppression. And
it is them who have accumulated knowledge about magic and especially
necromancy that was never meant to be known by any creature, dead or alive.
Elder Beholders have 500 hitpoints. They are resistant against poison.
These creatures can neither be summoned nor convinced.
Elder Beholders yield 840 experience points. They carry gold coins, longswords, morning stars, and sometimes other items with them. |
