To round out the bunch, I decided to add in a “eyesore.” The eyesore is a beholder that’s covered in eyeballs. It would have taken me probably a week to come up with this stuff. He also put together a beholder out of Kinex and called it a “ridge beholder.” Kinda like a beholder that’s a dream catcher with eyeballs.One kind of beholder that when you hit it, it splits into two beholders.Another beholder that turns you into a beholder if it touches you.A shadow beholder that’s made of shadow and can hide.Here’s four beholder variants Jack came up with just off the top of his head: Naturally, when it comes to cooking up weird D&D monsters, I turn to my 6-year old son, Jack to help me out. And finish it off by giving it a kooky, eye-pun name and voila: you’ve just created a beholder. ![]() Tie the horror that you’ve created to some sort of dream that the beholder may have had. Basically, take the base beholder and think of a way to make it even more f’d up than before. Even at a challenge rating 13 (15 in its lair), there’s a pretty good chance that the beholder is going to take down at least one or two PC’s in a fight.Ĭreating beholder variants is a simple process. If all that wasn’t bad enough, the beholder also has some pretty dandy lair actions that will assist it in combat including: slippery, slimy floors grasping appendages coming from the ceiling and walls and random eye rays.Īs you can see, there’s a reason these guys make awesome boss monsters.When things get close and personal, it’ll shut down particular targets with its anti-magic cone, while those outside of the cone can still get zapped.Plus, it can fly, so there’s no reason it’ll be anywhere near the ground. With a range of 120 ft., it can probably do this for a few rounds. The beholder will do its best to keep intruders at a distance, shutting down its center eye so it can zap anyone that comes at it.The rays are random, but since the beholder can fire 6 in a round, chances are it’s going to fire off some of its big guns fast. All of its eyes have a bunch of special rays that are, well… what kind of make the beholder the nightmarish legend that it is. ![]()
