This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What if Beholders had a Chromatic color scheme; similar to Dragons, but........

Your PCs don't just encounter a Beholder; it's actually a Blue Beholder, or a White Beholder, etc...   What sort of quirks, might they have?

Different combination of Eye Rays?
Instead of the main eye being a cone of anti-magic, maybe it's a cone of heat metal or darkness. Stuff like that.

There's a sort of option for this, with beholderkin.

Or the central eye could be a death ray, or a disintegration ray, or a ray of random banishment.....and that sucker is used a lot.  Some Beholders could be a crazy challenge.  Shucks, that's most beholders.

Pretty much allready a thing.

Theres beholders, Spectators, and at least 4 other eyeball monsters in D&D alone. Not even counting Undead Beholders and a Beholder Vampire of all things.

Theres also been a few variant beholders with different eye powers. Sometimes through study or experimentation. Sometimes magic. Sometimes mutations. Spelljammer allowed for all manner of unusual beholders due to their species focus.
