So I was just going through the Fiend Folio and found the half-illithid template with an example based on lizardfolk.
Having previously read about illithid reproduction in Lords of Madness, it is clearly stated that mostly only humanoid mammals of a certain size are used. Reptilians creatures are NEVER used (successfully, anyway. Apparently they love to experiment with other races). Ropers being one of the very few successful exceptions to the humanoid mammal rule.
I suppose it could be ruled that certain random implantations work, despite failing most of the time, with an exceptional tadpole somehow managing to survive the implantation into a normally unsuitable host..
Thoughts?
