Will and Brian are discussing another horror of the Underdark that might cause to want to wear a foil helmet this week on The Dungeoncast. Mindflayers (or Illithids) are tentacle faced psychic creatures that prefer sentient brains for snacks. And they don't have any problem popping humanoid craniums open for it.

I did notice one thing when you said that they use there mouth to crack the hosts skull open they actually don’t they have a acid like substance in there tentacles that they secrete and much like how your nose is attached to your throat they have “tubes” in there tentacles that transfer it to there mouth so they can chew it

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

@therismetrengaarde8315 4 года назад

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.

@anonym0usplatypus 4 года назад

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.

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

@Thedungeoncast 5 лет назад

Thank you! We will talk about builds in the future. I can't say that it will be soon though. We have a ton to cover still that I think gets priority.

@Kuidasaintseenimi 5 лет назад

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 4 года назад

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

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.

@dixieflatline9772 5 лет назад

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.
