Mind Flayers, aka “Iithids”
Are detrimental to your lids.
They’re not optimal for your thoughts
Your brainwaves are a string of naughts…
Mind Flayers are extremely powerful psions
They inspire quite a lot of die-ons
But more than their ability to slay,
Their tentacles take over your matter grey.
Their own minds are alien indeed
They are an enigmatic breed
They’re about as charming and as sweet
As a farmer selecting poultry for meat.
They’re aware that they’re superior
To everyone, interior and exterior
It’s their place to make thralls
That’s evolution, and nature calls…
I mean, if they were not intended
To see all other species on knees bended
Then why would they have been graced:
Given mind powers, and made tentacle-faced.
Where are they now? I wouldn’t ask.
They kept their minds behind a mask.
Now that they’re mad and quite unpleasant.
And psychosis is omnipresent.
On the plus side, their shadowy home
Was darker than Under-Elf or Gnome
Are they gone? I’ve my doubts
Because of some strange comeabouts:
Do we think that our upper lands
Are insane purely by our own hands?
I think we’ve help. I think we’re full
Of influence from tentacles.
And if we don’t destroy each other,
We need not die from friend or brother.
There’s still that maddened Ilithid race
Which is perfectly happy to take your place.
