D’an, an illithid NPC I made for my for the first campaign I Dm’d.

I had intended her to be a reoccurring antagonist for the players, but in true Dnd fashion she ended up getting romanced by one of the player characters- ironically the one with the worst charisma score.

teluvaak! i finalized their design!

teluvaak is my mindflayer Oc. They emerged shortly before the nautiloid's crash in bg3, and woke with zero recollection of their host's life, and zero connection to any colony or elder brain. they followed the only source of psychic energy that hadn't been snuffed out in the crash: the party. they're nearly killed several times in their attempts to befriend them. it's a Copper Dragonborn Tav that takes them in, their own pack instincts urging them to keep them close.

of course, being a lone mindflayer without a colony is a very lonely existance. they cling close to anyone who lets them.

another teluvaak wip. i decided to give them the tentacle extensions mentioned in the illithiad because those guys SERIOUSLY have that shit on.

given that teluvaak themself are quite young, like a couple months old, they don’t have long facial tentacles yet, so this is less for offensive combat and more defensive given their short range.

something i'm working on-- this was a few months into travelling with the party, when teluvaak started feeling like something was maybe amiss. they'd never had contact with a colony, and were dealing with a little bit of brain damage, so for the most part they were like "yeah it feels right to travel in a big group." but they could never put a finger on why they had this nagging feeling in the back of their skull that they should be elsewhere.
