    Setting: Dungeons and Dragons. 5th edition for sure, probably older.

    Character: Xanathar is a Beholder, think Mike from Monsters Inc, with ten tentacles in place of arms and legs. Each arm ends with an eye.

    Every beholder is an incredibly potent and lethal spell caster. And also incredibly wary of others. Mostly because how they reproduce is that they’re magical enough to make things they dream real subconsciously, and that includes new rival beholders.

      Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I haven’t played D&D since 3.5. Played all versions before it so I’ve encountered beholders before. It was even on the cover of one of the core books in one of the versions I think. Or at least we had a much used book with it on. My friend group never played pre-made adventures/settings, only did home brew content so I never got to know much og the characters that appear in memes and such.
