==Background==
'''Mind Flayers''', also known as '''illithids''', meaning "mind flayer" or "mind ruler" in Undercommon), and sometimes referred to as '''ghaik''' by the githyanki, were sadistic aberrations feared by sentient creatures on many worlds across the multiverse due to their powerful psionic abilities. From their twisted lairs deep in the Underdark, these alien entities sought to expand their dominion over all other lifeforms, controlling their minds to use them as obedient thralls. They consumed their victims' very personality by extracting and devouring their brains while they were still alive

“ Oh, most delicious morsel, perceive my appreciation of your unique gifts: Your brow―exquisite in its simple symmetry―is shapely, hinting at the delicacies contained therein. It is merely the wrapping, a fragile package concealing tangy treasure. Snuggled close, warm and most beneath pale bone, fatty coils of succulent gray meat quiver to be plucked, to be exposed for the appreciation of all, before inevitable, ardent consumption... Ah, that hits the spot. „
~ Mental message from a mind flayer
“ To put out the myriad suns- to darken the light. „
~ Illithid race-wide resolution
“ Shed your thoughts and let my will flow through you. „
“ You studied hard. How delicious! „
~ Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar

“ Don't cry. We have no intention of eating your brain. In fact; your brain is going on a wonderful journey! „
~ Qorik El-Slurrk, Mind Flayer, foreshadowing the process of creating an Intellect Devourer

“ An oblex wants memories, but not to serve any end of its own making. Oblexes are hungry for memories and personalities because they are empty without such nourishment. In this way they serve their creators, the illithids. An oblex in the range of an elder brain's powers provides everything necessary for the mind flayers to find choice victims. „
~ Mordenkainen
