From The Codex

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.
