[br][b]Features[/b]
[br][b]Mind Blast (Sp)[/b] 60-ft. cone; Will DC 17 or stunned for [roll:3d4|3d4] rounds. Mind flayers often hunt with this power, then drag off stunned prey.
[br][b]Psionics (Sp)[/b] As the spells cast by an 8th-level sorcerer (save DC 13 + spell level). See Spell-like Abilities.
[br][b]Improved Grab (Ex)[/b] Must hit a Small to Large creature with a tentacle. On a hold, attaches that tentacle to the opponent’s head (can grab Huge+ only if it can reach the head). After a successful grab, may attach remaining tentacles with a single grapple check. Escape: one successful grapple or Escape Artist check; mind flayer gains +2 circumstance per tentacle already attached at the start of the opponent’s turn.
[br][b]Extract (Ex)[/b] If it begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and maintains the hold, it extracts the brain, killing the creature instantly.
[br][b]Telepathy (Su)[/b] Communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 ft. that has a language.
[br][i]Mind flayers prefer range and psionics (especially mind blast). In melee they lash with the tentacles around their mouth.[/i]
