Beholders are the stuff of nightmares. These creatures, also called the "spheres of many eyes" or "eye tyrants," are deadly creatures. It is a rapacious and tyrannical creature that seeks to exact tribute from anything weaker than itself, and often attacks adventurers simply to acquire their wealth. The gauth, sometimes known as the lesser beholder, is a 4-foot wide orb dominated by a central eye. Six smaller eyes on stalks sprout from the top of its body.
