Character Background
Known in D&D lore as an Illithid, these are psionic monsters that consume the brains of sentient beings and dwell in the Underdark.
Design Notes
Uses the newer 'dress' slope brick rather than traditional legs; the head mold is a technical achievement in capturing the alien organic look.

Part of the landmark 2024 collaboration between LEGO and Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro.
Interesting Facts
