Lmfao great reference to the classic Pinky and the Brain cartoon I was 11-12 when that show came out

Maaan. Fun fact : "Illithid" is a pairing of two separate Undercommon words(if you didn't happen to know what "Undercommon" is, I will explain. You see, Undercommon is the variant of Common which is spoken in The Underdark. It's the most common language spoke in The Underdark, hence the "under" and "common" parts.), Which are "Illi" which simply means "mind" and "Thid" which simply means "eater/ruler". So, they are quite literally called "Mindflayers" in both Undercommon and in English.

I'd imagine that maybe some advanced illithid colonies would start the commercial farming of humanoids to minimize the amount of time they have to hunt.

The dude on the right is the best at coming up with stuff on the fly. Lichithids and what was that turn of phrase he used to describe the things DnD affected? That was cool. Good job man.

The largest Empire the Multiverse has ever known only lasted 1,000 years is a perfect example of why i take liberties with DnD lore for my HomeBrews.

Wow now I'm thinking about how much they are like the zerg and the protoss combined. But I really enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work I'm always looking forward to new videos

Another great podcast, good job guys!

I think I read that "Mindflayer" is what Illithid means in deep speech.

Yeah I always thought Mindflayer was just a translation of illithid.

Another awesome episode guys. Thank you. Just revisited your sorcerer analysis from way back and you promised doing an episode on a Gish build towards the end of the video. Is there any chance of this happening soon?? Cheers

I would like to hear more about renegade mind flayers, but it's cool to hear a lot about mind flayers

I love how in bg3 there is a mind flayer that can actually be considered either chaotic good or lawful neutral.

Back to learning about Mindflayers now that Baldur's Gate 3 is out in Early Access

Shoulda said "gotta be smarter than a 5th grader" to sustain the mindflayer

Another great video. Although, one thing has bothered me. Maybe you could put pictures, if available, of the creatures to background to give us better vision on the topics at hand. PS: How their hunting and feeding cycle more precisely works? I mean do they breed the creatures also as livestock or just hunt, enthrall and consume?

@therismetrengaarde8315

I believe the Mindflayers only hunt, enthrall and enslave. Their methods for testing their potential victims is by placing them into these capsule-like pods filled with water, and essentially blast their ears and minds with a sort of psionic frequency to either permanently strengthen the victim's own psionic ability, or render them mentally disabled and use them for their vile and sadistic experiments

Oh man, you guys need to do Slaad!

They got that Davy Jones going on

4 tentacles under their mouths... Is Dr. Zoidberg secretly an Ilithid?

Matron Benrea of Menzoberanzon had a MindFlayer Advisor

This race would be fun to play in a evil party.

Alhoons are actually just Illithids that delve into arcane magic. The ones who become liches are called Illithiliches lol

I seriously can not wait to play a masterful and mighty manticore mage

Starship troopers is a satire. Some elements are funny. It is absolutely not a comedy.

Compare illithids to star wars, gith = sith?

these guys remind me of the yuuzhan vong

Starship Troopers the book is totally pro-fascist. The movie is like a parody of it, almost. Some of the sci-fi stuff in the book is cooler than the movie, but the movie definitely reigns supreme in the social commentary/politics stuff.

Maybe don't watch 🤷 Brian's side comments are hilarious and often lead to revelations from Will about whichever topic they're talking about.

The book Starship Troopers is fascist propaganda. The movie makes fun of the book along with fascism. If you think the movie promotes fascism, it's because fascism is appealing to you.
