Other Beholders and Beholder-kin

__NOTOC__The beholder races are not limited to the ones presented here. The plastic nature of the beholder race allows many mutations and abominations in the breed, including, but not limited to, the following.
==Beholder Mage==
Shunned by other beholders, this is a beholder which has purposely blinded its central eye, so that it might cast spells. It does so by channeling spell energy through an eyestalk, replacing the normal effect with that of a spell of its choice.
==Crawler (a typical mount)==
A crawler resembles a cross between a centipede and a spider. It has 4 Hit Dice. It has 10 legs, two pairs of frontal antennae, and two fighting spider fangs that can be used for separate stabbing attacks causing 2d4 points of damage each. Victims who fail to roll successful saving throws vs. poison are paralyzed for 1d4 rounds. Crawlers are omnivores that prefer to eat smaller creatures. Unmounted, they may roll into a ball to gain an AC of 0. They have cutting mandibles beneath their front fangs.
==Elder Orb==
These are extremely ancient beholders of godlike intelligence and power. Though they have lost the function of some of their eyestalks, they have more hit points and are able to cast spells. They can supposedly create and control death tyrants.
==Orbus==
This is a stunted, pale-white beholder retaining only its anti-magic eye and reputed to have great magical ability.
==Doomsphere==
This ghost-like undead beholder is created by magical explosions.
==Kasharin==
An undead beholder, it passes on the rotting disease which killed it.
==Astereater==
This abomination is a great boulder-like beholder-kin without eyes.
==Gorbel==
The gorbel is a wild, clawed beholder-kin lacking magic but with the nasty habit of exploding if attacked.
In addition, there are beholders which are in all appearances “normal” but have eyes with alternate magical abilities, such as a detect lie instead of a death ray. Such creatures are usually treated as outcasts by all the beholder and beholder-kin races.
