Fuck illithids, all my homies hate illithids.

Illithids got it bad tbh, in at least one edition they’re not innately evil but indoctrinated into a cult where they get mind controlled and ultimately eaten by a giant brain, that brain is the real villain.
Sounds like something an illithid would say to you so you drop your guard. I have my eye on you
Basically what happened in baulders gate 3.
Ruck and Morty vibes
Pretty sure there are no ilithid children. They just sort of concert other races to full adult ilithids.
However, you could make the case that gnome ceremorphs or gnome squidlings could pretend to be kids if a normal mindflayer wanted some fucked up version of a family for whatever reason.
is it time for drizzting the illithid until they become an evil species whose only members you can possibly meet are all chaotic good and hate their own people?
