Violet Rook:
I noticed no one took the challenge of making a Mind Flayer.

vultur:
Aren't those WotC intellectual property?  ;)

Sanctaphrax:
I think I could make a mind flayer.

I don't have my D&D books on hand, though.

So...mind flayers are super-smart and telepathic. Plus they can levitate, hop from plane to plane, and control minds. Their signature tricks are a mental attack that stuns everyone in the area and sucking out the brains of people they successfully grapple.

Am I missing anything? Are they super-strong or really intimidating or otherwise awesome in some way I didn't mention?

Mrmdubois:
No, I'd say you got it.  Chuck in biomancy though, expansions gave them really twisted grafts and servants.  Like the Fomor have.

Some Mind Flayers also have Ritual (Biomancy) or even full spellcasting Powers. Such Mind Flayers don't necessarily have higher stats otherwise, so feel free to just add those Powers to the above stat-block.
