Maanzeuropordell serves on the Elder Concord of Xallistemious after many years of service as an aedileator of trade relations. He has an intricate design tattooed on his face and neck.  He is very skilled at gathering information about strange places, and often travels to the surface for this information.  He values planning above all else – and information is vital for successful planning.  He never acts rashly, and is often asked to advise on community defense issues.

Mind Blast (Sp): This attack is 60 feet long.  Anyone caught in this cone must succeed at a Will save (DC 24) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds.

Psionics (Sp): At Will – Astral projection, charm monster, detect thoughts, levitate, plane shift, and suggestion.  These abilities are as the spells cast by an 8^th level sorcerer (Save DC 13+ spell level)

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the mind flayer must hit a small to large critter with its tentacle attack.  If it gets a hold, it attaches the tentacle to the opponent's head.  After a successful grab, it can try to attach its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check .

Extract (Ex): A mind flayer that begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and successfully maintains its hold automatically extracts the opponent's brain, instantly killing the creature.

Telepathy (Su): Mind flayers can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.

The Immovable Hand of Peace (Ex): If he is holding no visible weapons, has no harmful intent, and has not yet attacked anyone, anyone attacking him must make a Will save (DC 31) or be unable to harm him.

Whisper from the Soul (Ex):  Once per day, he can use emotion.

Your Life is Mine (Ex): Five times per day, he can attempt to sway someone to his way of thinking. As Charm Person as by a 20^th level sorcerer (DC 21).
