The monster found in this PDF is a sample of our booklet Masters of the Mind: Book of Illithid.

When  ceremorphosis is performed on  a svirfneblin, it usually results in the death of the host and tadpole. However, when combined with a dark ritual, a mozgriken will be created. These small stealth operatives retain their deep gnome stature, but the unique process of their ceremorphosis mutates their bodies. The mutations are not consistent or uniform among all mozgriken, so you'll rarely see two that look alike. Their bodies become malleable, allowing their psionics to reshape their body in almost any way they please."

We at Black Crown Games are pleased to present you a sample of our product Masters of the Mind: The book of Illithid. In this book, DM's will find our interpretation of an old mind flayer creature, the mozgriken. The result of ceremorphosis having been practiced on a svirfneblin.

Doppelgangers already bear natural mind reading abilities, which are significantly amplified by ceremorphosis. In exchange for stronger abilities that work for infiltration, the mozgriken lacks a mind blast attack. The mozgriken works as a great BBEG, potentially following along with the players in plain site, being there to intercept or mislead them at every turn. While not ultra powerful, their difficult can of course can be increased with the aid of some magic items.

In this pdf, you will find one monster stat block for the mozgriken.

Content Warning: The original content for the mozgriken made heavy reference to abuse and themes that could easily be viewed as ablism in nature. We at Black Crown Games want to ensure that gaming experiences are enjoyable by everyone and did our best to modify the narrative and descriptions to be less hurtful.
