You gain a natural AC of 15 + your Dexterity modifier. If you wear armor, your AC is the higher of the two values.

Racial Traits

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increases by 2, and one other ability score increases by 1.

Darkvision

Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Devour Brain

Psionic energy is extracted from the brain by a mind flayer in the victim's last moments of activity. The psychic essence freed from brains is nourishing in a way far more efficient and potent than flesh could be alone, metaphysically reenergizing their metabolism so well that only one intelligent brain is needed per month for them to remain healthy. Without this minimum requirement met, a mind flayer will slowly suffer physical debilitation and grow so weak that they will die in four months. In this Mundane world, it can be difficult for the mind flayer to get the brains they require without attracting the attention of the Mundane populace.

It is possible, for a mind flayer to sustain itself by only consuming the brains of sufficiently intelligent lifeforms, if necessary. Animals that demonstrate extraordinary intelligence, such as exceptional cats, dogs, or bears, for example, sometimes have the psychic quotient required to properly nourish a mind flayer. However, these sources are unreliable. But the mind flayer will do what it must in order to survive.

Out of combat, you can extract the brain of an unconscious creature within 5 feet of you if no other hostile creatures are within 5ft. You instantly kill the target by devouring its brain.

Devouring a brain with this feature or the "Extract Brain" psionic ability provides you with 5 temporary hit points until you take a rest, then roll 1d20.

1-5: You learn 1 piece of useless information

6-10: You learn 2 pieces of useless information

11-15: You learn 1 piece of useful information

16-20: You learn 2 pieces of useful information

Languages

You can speak, read, and write English, Common, Deep Speech, and Undercommon.

Level Adjustment

You have a +1 level adjustment.

Psionic Abilities

Choose 1 psionic ability for your Mind Flayer character. If a psionic ability calls for a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

Mind Blast

As an action, you emit psychic energy to destroy your foes. Each creature in a 15-foot cone originating from you must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn, or half as much damage and is not stunned on a successful one. The damage and size of this ability increases to 2d6, 30 feet at 6th level, 3d6, 45 feet at 11th level, and 4d6 and 60 feet at 18th level. After you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Enslave

Prerequisite: Mind Flayer, character level 8

As an action, you attempt to exert some form of control over a humanoid you can see within 60 feet. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be enslaved by you for 1 minute. If

you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, the enslavement is broken. While the target is enslaved, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the

same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify

a simple and general course of action, such as “Attack that creature,” “Run over there,” or “Fetch that object.” If the creature completes the order and doesn’t receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn’t do anything that you

don’t allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well. Each time the target takes damage, it

makes a new Wisdom saving throw against enslave. If the saving throw succeeds, the effect ends. After you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

When you reach 10th level the duration goes up to 10 minutes, 12th level the duration goes up to 1 hour and 14th level the duration goes up to 8 hours.

Telepathy

You can telepathically communicate with any creature you can see or know within 120 feet of you. To understand each other, you don’t have to share a language, as long as the creature knows at least one language.

Fighting Style: Archery
Martial Archetype: Psi Warrior

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Maut'on was pulled through a Shadow Rift, like all Mind Flayers. Maut’on quickly found a suitably dark lair (an abandoned sub-basement not far from a subway station) and took up residence there. Thus far, he has refused to become too closely involved with the Mundane world, preferring instead to play the role of the hunter.
Maut’on preys on late-night travelers and spends hours pondering whether to attempt an escape back through a Shadow Rift or settle down here permanently. He realizes that finding a way back through a Shadow Rift will take a great deal of time and effort. However, the idea of remaining here in this Mundane world in not especially appealing to him either. There is the benefit of having been disconnected from his Elder Brain which has given him a freedom that he had never before imagined possible.
The mind flayer finds his inability to use his plane shift ability deeply disturbing, but also intellectually fascinating. He has convinced himself that the mystery of his failed plane shift power is connected with some profound secret that he has yet to uncover. Since his arrival, Maut’on has encountered other refugees from the Shadow Realm. From them, he has learned of the location of a colony, but has no desire to join them. He has only learned that there have been many who have been pulled into this Mundane world and thus far none have discovered a route to return to the Shadow realm.
One of the Shadow Kind he has encountered is an umber hulk, which he has kept charmed since their first encounter, and an ogre mage named Fek-Jiim, with whom he has forged an alliance. The two have formed a small but lucrative crime ring based largely on selling goods taken from the mind flayer's “meals,” but also on stripping the assets from victims of the pair’s charm powers.
