Physically, mind flayers are only slightly stronger than the average human. Because this does not satisfy their need for having an overwhelming advantage in all fields against any who challenge them, they’ve come up with some creative solutions. Ironically, their solution to their lacking brawn is even more brains.
The Brain Golem is a construct found in our D&D supplement Masters of the Mind: The Book of Illithid. Below is an excerpt from Masters of the Mind:
Royal Guards. Brain golems will be deployed to protect the elder brain if the colony is at risk. The colony may have a couple of brain golems. However, the elder brain can create one at will by shedding off its own mass. This process can be risky as it reduces the overall health of the elder brain until the golem is reabsorbed.
The intended scale is 60mm tall.
