Historical Background

Soulflayers (also known as Mind Flayers, or Ilithid) are one of the most well-known enemies of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, as well as a recurring enemy in some Final Fantasy games. They appeared in Final Fantasy 1 as Piscodemon [JP]/Wizard [EN] and Sorcerer (known for its insidious 1 damage physical attacks which had Additional Effect: Death), Final Fantasy IV as Mind Flayer [JP]/Mage [EN], Final Fantasy V as Mind Flayer, and Final Fantasy IX as Drakan.


According to the D&D Monster Manual, they "are so insidious, diabolical, and powerful that all denizens of the dark fear them. They bend others to their will and shatter enemies' minds." They have 4 tentacles surrounding a lamprey-like mouth, which they use to grab and subdue prey in order to consume their foe's brain. They are highly intelligent, and employ powerful psionic abilities in order to charm and subdue other beings, as well as powerful magic.
