&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Illithid''' is a form of [[monster attribute]] or similar quality in some variants of ''[[NetHack]]'' that indicates when a monster is considered to be a [[mind flayer]] or of a similar nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Across the variants that it appears in, the illithid attribute generally determines which monsters can and cannot be affected by artifacts that target dragons in addition to any other variant-specific properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==dNetHack==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], mind flayers and illithids are defined by the pointer &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;is_mind_flayer(ptr)&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; in &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;mondata.h&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mind flayers in dNetHack consist of the following monsters:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{monsymlink|mind flayer|variant=dNetHack}}&lt;br /&gt;
* {{monsymlink|master mind flayer|variant=dNetHack}}&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightcyan|h}} [[star spawn]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|h}} [[Mad Grazi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|G}} [[parasitized android]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|G}} [[parasitized gynoid]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|w}} [[parasitic mind flayer]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|w}} [[parasitic master mind flayer]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{gray|L}} [[Alhoon (dNetHack)|alhoon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|U}} [[elder brain]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|H}} [[Lugribossk]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|.}} [[Maanzecorian]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{green|&amp;amp;}} [[Great Cthulhu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===notdNetHack===&lt;br /&gt;
In notdNetHack (and notnotdNetHack), the [[Illithanachronounbinder]] is a role that is flavored as being a mind flayer of whatever starting race the player selects, possessing both the traits of that race and those of mind flayers&amp;amp;mdash;the role's rank title for [[experience level]]s 14-17 is &amp;quot;Mind Flayer&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack also add some other mind flayer monsters and relatives:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|w}} [[Neothelid (notdNetHack)|neothelid]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|V}} [[villithid]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|;}} [[illithid larva]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==EvilHack==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[EvilHack]], illithid monsters are denoted with the &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;'''MH_ILLITHID'''&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; flag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Illithid (starting race)|Illithid]] heroes can occasionally encounter peaceful mind flayers and master mind flayers, and some illithid [[Player monster (EvilHack)|player monsters]] will also generate as peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Illithids in EvilHack consist of the following monsters:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|h}} [[Illithid (monster)|illithid]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{monsymlink|mind flayer}}&lt;br /&gt;
* {{monsymlink|master mind flayer}}&lt;br /&gt;
* {{gray|h}} [[Alhoon (EvilHack)|alhoon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{magenta|w}} [[Neothelid (EvilHack)|neothelid]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{brightmagenta|;}} [[mind flayer larva]]&lt;br /&gt;
* {{black|h}} [[Dark One (EvilHack)|Dark One]]&lt;br /&gt;
