Gazers

Gazers are psionic humanoid beings with heads that resembles that of a Beholder.
Nobody knows where Gazers really come from, and they don't really know either. All that is known about their origins is that they pretty much appear out of thin air with a name already accompanying them. Due to their Extra-Planar nature, most academics have speculated that they have some sort of connection with Great Eldritch Being Cyäegha, the One Who Sees.
However, Gazers were never seen during the Era of Ruin, only Beholders. This has stumped many a scientist. In the past, many have been captured and been subjected to intensive mind reading magic only for researchers to find no new information.
At the moment, Gazers are able to fit into some communities if they are able to convince the townsfolk that they mean no harm. Most of the time, this is a difficult task.
