"Anybody know what the Hell that evil black floaty thing is in the distance?"Dire Beholders are a thankfully rare mutation of the Beholder race. Enormous floating cancerous masses of eyestalks, teeth, and armor plating they leave huge trails of destruction in their wake. Thankfully normal Beholders hate them and are willing to ally with anyone willing to fight.
