Improved Grab Creatures with the grab special attack receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple. When a mind flayer hits a small, medium, or large creature with a tentacle attack it may attempt to start a grapple as a free action. If successful it may attempt to attach it's remaining tentacles with a single grapple check the next round. The target can escape all the tentacles with a single grapple check, but the mind flayer gets a +2 bonus to oppose this check for each of its tentacles beyond the first that is attached to the target.

Extract A mind flayer that begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and that makes a successful grapple check automatically extracts the opponents brain, instantly killing the creature.This power is useless against constructs, elementals oozes, plants, and undead. It is not instantly fatal to foes with multiple heads, such as ettins and hydras.

Sap Will As a standard action, a mind flayer can use this psionic attack to manifest a 20- ft.-radius sphere, which the scourge can center anywhere within 30 ft. (a common tactic is to center the ability on itself, as a mind flayer is immune to its own sap will ability). Anyone caught in this sphere must succeed on a DC 23 Will save or lose the will to act for 3d4 rounds, during which they are stunned. Once used, this ability can’t be used again for 2 rounds.

Mind Flayers often use this ability to take out groups of enemies at once, or to hunt for victims they can make into slaves or food.

Lacking a spoken language, mindflayers communicate between themselves telepathically. Because of this they identify in a more personal manner and don't use names. When called by others, it tends to be Master that is most often spoken, though a select few have also been known to refer to him as the Illithid.

Strategically placed into a position of blame by a rival, he was exiled with the stipulation made to mock him that he may only return upon his enslavement of the drow. After months of wandering the underdark in anger and hate, he had a moment of clarity. He would travel to the surface in search of power and great artifacts such as the Annulus and the Psicrown of the Crystal Mind. The searching would be mind wrenching and the obstacles unmatched, but success would place unfathomable power in the palm of his hand. He would take this power, return to the underdark, and force the drow under his boot. To spit in the face of those who had cast him out, he would grasp his new power firmly and march the drow against the council, demanding their heads for their treachery.
