Which Monster Do You Want To Follow?

Gloxzivxikia: The Hive-Mother-In-Training

You are a formidable threat: or at least you would be if you weren't in a dungeon intended for heroes of 40th or 50th level...

Your name is Gloxzivxikia, and you are an Eye Tyrant, also known as a Beholder. Specifically, you are a Hive-Mother... In training.

Oh, you would be a terrifying adversary, if you could reach your full growth and development and become a proper Hive Mother, but you can not do it, because this dungeon is inaccessible to any adventurers below 20th level, and you are only CR 12. Most of the Beholders in the dungeon are only CR 8, but that is of little consolation to you: you can't dominate them as a proper Hive Mother would, and they travel in packs of eight, where you are encountered alone.

Most infuriating of all is that you are programmed to have an elf fetish! You've been able to scratch that particular itch only a handful of times, and never for very long, as you always have to kill the sexy strumpets before your perverse attraction can be discovered, but the memories of fucking and being fucked by hot little elf toys for hours on end are the mainstay of your masturbation sessions.

Oh, yes, Beholders don't have genders as the weaker races understand such things, being all simultaneously male/female for reproductive purposes, and in point of fact reproducing asexually by falling asleep with their eye-stalks open in front of a mirror and "heat-dreaming" 1-8 perfect clones of themselves into existence the vast majority of the time. You though, being on the road to Hive-Mother status, self identify as a Bisexual Female-'Plus'. For obvious reasons, Bisexuality is the norm among Beholders to an **** degree, or should I say beholder-sexuality, as they would, almost universally, be disgusted by the idea of mating with lesser races, but are completely indifferent whether they are the penetrating or penetrated party during intercourse. (Some have a stronger preference, but this is seen as a moral failure by most beholders.) The epitome of sexual prowess is to be a non-incestuous couple that can do it both ways for each partner simultaneously...

This is another major difference between Aluvia Beholders and D&D Beholders, Aluvia Beholders are culturally xenophobic, not genetically xenophobic. One of the rarest, (but most-wished-for), "heat-dreaming" events among lone Beholders in isolated locations is a "Dunellen Dreaming". If this happens, the Beholder will be granted an absolutely PERFECT beholder sex partner, matched with them on every level of compatibility imaginable, including not being actually perfect, so they don't feel inadequate, but all their new partner's flaws being trivial things that they would accept a thousand times over for how awesome this other Beholder is. As a side bonus, the dreamer gets a body upgrade so they both can do that "doublesex" thing. Heh, yeah, you've prayed for that too, no dice so far.

This brings us back to the Xenophobia thing. Aluvia Beholders mate, and tend to mate frequently, and their children often look almost NOTHING like the parents, who, fairly often, are actually both clones of an older beholder in the colony. Beholder pregnancies last only three weeks, and are not like those of other races, because the mother does not give birth or lay eggs or anything else that you might be expecting: but instead has a "Heat-Dream" and 1-10 full grown beholders appear in the hive's nesting chamber. Most of the time they are then **** to leave by their parents, who know that they will be de-rezzed by adventurers if they don't go find a respawn platform quickly, but in a few cases, their parents may have one or more Registry Sigils and use them on their very favorite children, (generally the one's who look more like their parents), allowing them to stay. Because of this, the oldest hives are an eclectic mix of slightly different Beholders, such as yourself...
