I'm just impressed someone wants to look into the subject.ĭoggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be. "I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me" - Dudley Field Malone I can just picture Bruenor's mouth watering. If you look in Realmspace, under the the Skull of the Void in the 'additional astronomicals' section, you will find that illithids love beholder brains - the entire structure is a giant ranch where they raise them as a food source! Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver). Lesser Beholders and Beholder-kin probably have a different taste altogether and are likely easier to capture and consume. In the Realms I would wager that there are cults who believe consuming Beholder meat brings one closer to what it is to be a Beholder. I am the Giant Space Hamster of Ill Omen! Since 2E, the only books that have taken that approach are the Monsternomicon books of the 3.x Iron Kingdoms RPG, and the Pathfinder books that devote an entire book to a dozen monsters.Ĭandlekeep - The Library of Forgotten Realms Lore Their ecology, social grouping, reproduction - all those things were discussed, along with a line or two on what their body parts could be used for.

I'd go with "fulfilling for a while followed by a torrent of diarrhoea". Each entry should have a 'Edible:Y/N/ and Taste' section :) Just in case. Hahaha, that's what the Monster Manual misses. That beholder is one ugly son of a gun, but he's starting to look more appetizing as the adventurer's hunger progresses. Has this ever been discussed?
