# I Fucking Love Illithid tags: #thoughts #game/rpg/dnd ![[Illithid.jpg]] No, seriously. I fucking love [illithids](https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Illithid). Mind flayers. Whatever you want to call them. I love everything about them, from their weird bodies to their parasitical life cycle, to their maniacal mastermind planning. Everything. That's kind of saying something given how little I like **[[Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]** in general but mind flayers have always been a part of that setting which I deeply enjoy. When they were literally [the biggest, baddest motherfuckers on the block](https://spelljammer.fandom.com/wiki/Illithid) in **[[Spelljammer]]**, I was pretty excited. That pleased me to no end. I should probably play one. ## Update: 2023-10-16 22:59 Look, if Ed Greenwood tells me to **FLAY THAT MIND**, I do it.
