Could you do video on Sertrous, The Demon Prince of Heretics?
0:11 Ackchyually,...
'Beholders detect scents through thousands of miniscule
openings (called spiracles) over the surface of their bodies, and
it is through these openings that they also breathe.' Lords of Madness, p. 38
If Beholder Mum is a planet would it be similar to Mogo the DC Green Lantern? That would be a scary thought of two planets fighting in space.
Starting my Spelljammer campaign today, using the Wildjammer rules for 5e
yeeesss!
I'd love a Ravenloft domain ruled by a Beholder
I made one for my players a while back. It was a town where he was worshipped as a god, but the whole town and everyone in it was dreamed into existence by him
That.would.be.amazing.
That'd be cool, although I'd think a beholder already tortures itself through its paranoia enough
It's totally possible. You just need to think of a crime so horrific that the Dark Powers become drawn to that Beholder and want to imprison it.
@@EmeraldTG I didn't say it was hard, in fact I think it's very easy, the thing is that beholders are already miserable, evil and paranoid af, which is prime material for dark lord. Any beholder would do the trick
You can also find Beholders in Eberron, but their origin is wildly divergent.
Almost everything in Eberron is. The three dragon gods made their own cosmology separate from the main cosmology and basically copy&pasted beings from other worlds and planes into their cosmology 😂
Yeah, I like how they were tied into the Daelkyr and the Symbiotes.
There's also a separate origin story for Mystara which is . . . just freaky. They're modified Medusas.
Imagine a mid-level Wizard who manages to True Polymorph into a Beholder, using a magic item or whatever, so that he can try and overcome a Mindflayer infestation or something like that. And then during the encounter he's knocked unconscious, or otherwise put to "sleep" (this would of course have to happen after the Spell is no longer Concentration based), and then whilst he's out he dreams about another beholder trying to kill him, and accidentally gives birth to a baby that then goes on to be his greatest nemesis for the rest of his life. 😆 😅 😂
The new monsters of the multiverse leave out SO MUCH INFORMATION provided by Volos guide.
As a DM, I can say with full confidence that Volos has been one of the best purchases I’ve made for 5e
Seconded. Gimme that sweet, juicy lore. It's pure homebrew adventure and encounter generation and I love that stuff!
I mean that's basically why I watch D&D lore channels like this one, AJ Pickett, Dungeon Dad, and so on.
100% volos was the one book I kept coming back to read instead of just looking up specific info.
@@probablythedm1669 exactly!! The monster lore sections in the beginning of the book have been invaluable to some of my favorite adventures I’ve written up. Knowing exactly how they’ll build their nests and why they do what they do is 👏🏼😩
I'm so happy I bought volos before it got removed!
''Lore hurts the DM's creativity.''
-Jeremy Crawford, probably.
This is such great fuel for a Beholder V Mindflayer “war of the worlds” style game!
The players pick a side or try to play the sides off each other and the campaign could end as late as 1 side winning
If you liked I, Tyrant I highly suggest The Illithiad, same book but for Illithids basically, two of my favorites on my shelf.
Your use of Unicron as an image for the Great Mother reminds me of an unrelated potential D&D crackpot theory. In the lore of Transformers, they worship a mechanical creator god called Primus. Of course, this is also the name of the god of the Modrons. So, are Transformers connected to the D&D multiverse? Are they advanced modrons? They're both Hasbro properties at this point. Could there be a potential crossover?
Transformers are several Modrons connected together like Voltron. lol
@@KnicKnac Three Modrons in a truck suit.
@@geoffgodofbiscuits I mean if three gnomes in a trenchcoat equals a human. Three Modrons connected should equal one medium size transformer
I think its mentioned in 1st and 2nd AD&D, but for the Forgotten Realms there is something called the Mulmaster Beholder corp as in military CORP not corporation). In the old Gold Box game, Curse of the Azure Bonds, you can actually fight them. All of them.
Beholders in space and no mention of the great Large Luigi and the Laughing Beholder on Bral? He's my Spelljammer campaigns main tavern keeper and weirdo 😂
One beholder definitely acts differently in Spelljammer- just take a look at Large Luigi
Beholders in SPACE SPace space spa...
Large Luigi is awesome.
I like the created by beholder dreams reproduction. I believe that appeared in a Dragon magazine article. It was possibly "Ecology of a Beholder."
I think it should also be possible for the beholder to reproduce by themselves or with another beholder. (If two of them can stand each other long enough.)
Adding a beholder matron to the mix isn't to far off from either method. The godly form or hive mothers both work.
Beholders are exactly bizarre enough for all of the forms of reproduction to be true at the same time.
With the return of beholder ships, including passages in spacejammer academy book saying that said ships had large groupings of beholders, then the latter half of this video is still lore canon.
Thumbs up for the jokes at the beginning
The dreams of astral dreadnoughts
Literally watching a different video featuring THE TYRANTS when this dropped. What can I say, the algorithm knows me.
If you purchased Volo's before the change you still have it
Off topic: I want to make a beholder mimic hybrid.
What a fun idea! I'm thinking they pretend to be a crystal ball, maybe?
So beholders make beholders like kuo toa makes deity’s
I wonder if that's a hat or it's a baby beholder nom nom noming on that guy's head
Why not both?
Thanks for the amazing work
Lol I guess reality is just another beholder dream.
I despise the 'beholder dream each other into existence' answer from 5E. I much prefer the 2E version.
Same. I like the idea of beholder colonies too.
Your audio is all over the place, had to put on headphones, and it's too damn hot for headphones.
Does this Spelljammer-ish Beholder lore extend to Death Kiss Beholders?
BTW, I can totally see a mid-high level serial killer mystery with a Death Kiss as the killer...
Behold...beholders!!
That's a better title for this video than I could ever come up with 😂
You forgot the beholder lore from 3e Lords of Madness
You can’t buy Volo’s digitally, but if you already owned it, you can still read it. The information is just marked as Legacy material
7:54 we sure those are eye stalks? looks like a bachelorette party decoration fueled fever dream. future clickbait article "15 D&D Illustrations That Will Kind Of Ruin Your Childhood"
I am curious how you feel Eberron beholders and Belashyrra fit into the beholder lore.
Behold! The 'ph' isn't silent.
Well researched and well made video
Volos as far as i know is still on dndbeyond but its listed as "legacy content" with the disclaimer it doesnt necessarily reflect current lore and 5e mechanics.
I really like AJ Pickett's theory that ties together The Great Mother, Tharazdun, and Astral Dreadnaughts and the dreaming of Beholders
Not familiar with the theory. Could you explain?
day one of asking jophdan to make talk about the spore lord
I love the 2e Beholder lore
I hate it. I like the more Lovecraftian 5ed one
bahahah great jokes
I just think they're neat!
😂
Are there any beholders in Dark Sun or Dragonlance?
👍
Excellent video as usual but I thought that the beholders had an entire planet in the toril solar system before that living planet destroyed it. So how can they have a problem living together if they have or had an entire planet. And if they do fight each other all the time there must have been alot of war and alot of major alliances. It seems to go against the lore wich changes all the time. It sounds like a great adventure going to that world. Of course you have to bring it back but who cares they change this lore all the time. So I guess they can work together in large numbers and that is scary beholders are dangerous they can kill an entire well experienced group that is really tough please have a good day and please show your Norwegian forest cat again I am a cat guy and that one is cool. You could do a whole cat video on it like us cat people do all the time it's a looker. You could probably sell 10 thousand t- shirts with his face on it.
Is there anything known about aboleth spelljammers?
If I'm recalling correctly, they aren't mentioned much in the original Spelljammer; I specifically recall one module had them and they could free-float in Wild Space itself without the need for a ship. Rumor has it though that they are to get quite the revamp when the new print run comes out.
@@danielgehring7437 Thank you! I think I remember hearing about this free-float ability, but I was thinking that there still might be ships for the same reason as people using wagons. But maybe Aboleths have their own secret alien way to transport their belongings.
