 The gas spores filling the level are indistinguishable from the Beholder by glyph alone - the [[far look]] command is life-saving here, and [[telepathy]] is a good means of distinguishing the Beholder from the [[mindless]] gas spores. The Beholder itself has multiple [[gaze attack]]s, including one which causes [[instadeath]] - [[reflection]] can deflect the death gaze back at the Beholder and dispatch it instantly, provided you are not [[invisible]] or otherwise unable to be seen by the Beholder, but it will not protect against the other gaze attacks.
