looking for a beholder
Hello,
I need a beholder for a room in my game. the main and lesser in the MM is too high and too low respectively for a CR. I know of an undead version, but can't find it. Anyone know what book he is in? And/or are there any other types of beholders in any of the creature lists, in any book except Ebberron.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to check out Lords Of Madness, which has a full section dedicated to Beholders and has a few alternate-Beholders available.

Re: looking for a beholder
The Death Tyrant is the undead version of the Beholder.
There is quite a lot of creatures you can use :
- Beholders can be very different from one another. You can have very special beholders. And it's ok lore wise (they are described like that, but I don't remember the source tho).
- You can have a beholder with some missing eye sockets.

You could always add hit dice or class levels to the lesser beholder.

Re: looking for a beholder
If Gauth is too "small", and Beholder - too "big", then CR should be between 6 and 13, right?
Well, at CR 8, there are Bleeder Beholder in Dragon Compendium, Director and Eye of the Deep Beholderkin in Lords of Madness
CR 11: Death Kiss Beholderkin (Monsters of Faerūn)
For CR 12, we have Occultipus Beholder in Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene
You can advance Gauth by HD (+1 CR for every 4 HD, and +1 CR for Large size)
Also, there are various templates - such as Axiomatic, Entropic, or Tarterian Creature
If you slap on Gauth Chimeric Creature, CR would become 9

Re: looking for a beholder
Beholder Mage is a prestige class for Beholders and even a few levels can be a fun addition while making them more dangerous.

Re: looking for a beholder
What about a Beholder suffering from cognitive dissonance? For example, it could be cursed to be able to act only half the time.
