Gauths

A weaker cousin of the beholder, the gauth is made up of a central round body with one huge eye surrounded by tiny eyes, with tentacles ending in more eyes sticking out all over. It has a large mouth which it uses to consume the magic of artifacts - which it must do to stay on the material plane. Unfortunately, the party learned that they reproduce in a strange ritual involving screaming at each other and shooting random eyebeams around until a baby gauth just kind of appears. 
== Gauths in Zendarru ==
Gauths helped Nandy Skyhawk and the other founders of Zendarru build and maintain the city. Two gauths, Hawtap Iq and Atlas, continued to hold the city up with their alien magic in 1160 PGE, when the party arrived. The party originally planned to kill or relocate them, but instead ended up getting the two together so they could make a baby. Together, the family of three is strong enough to maintain the city for even longer (as long as they're fed enough magic).
