The Beholder is a giant floating orb of leathery flesh with one large eye in the center, smaller eye stalks on the sides, and a large mouth filled with sharp teeth.
Encounters[]
The Beholder can be a wandering monster on all levels of the dungeon. If you say the command "listen" before entering a room with a beholder, you will hear "magical energy."
Strategy[]
The Beholder is an advanced opponent in battle. It can cast spells, has many hit points, and can do a lot of damage. The beholder is one of the only monsters that has more than 100 HP, and can regenerate hit points(D10x2). If your character is not strong, it is best to run away. Using a freeze spell or an invisibility spell helps a lot, both in running away and attacking.
