Grrl Power #1086 – Befuddle a beholder
There’s definitely some wires crossed in Sydney’s brain, right?
So yeah. Cthillia is an anthropomorphic beholder of some flavor. That’s “beholder” not “Beholder(C)” because Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast/D&D owns the copyright on “Beholders(C).” I thought they also held the copyright on Drow, but I looked it up but couldn’t find anything to back that up. Not sure about Lolth. They’ve definitely (C)ed Carrion Crawlers, Displacer Beasts, Mind Flayers, and a few others. But as Cthillia is humanoid, I’m probably in the clear. All this isn’t to say that she’s a chaotic evil bipolar agoraphobe necessarily. She has eyestalks with powers and moderate budget for scale polish for sure, but her mental state and interpersonal skills are a little more up in the air.
Anyway. I had actually planned a far more dramatic reveal for her at some point in the near-ish future, but I couldn’t really see how the current storyline would lead to what I’d originally imagined. Plus it’s also super funny to me that Sydney just badgered it out of her.

"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Oh, wow. I was completely certain she was a medusa.
Nice design by the way, I really like how the eyestalks have slots on the head.
The more I look at this the more I realize that Cthillia made two big mistakes here when dealing with Halo.;
mistake number one attempting to Stonewall her.: Halo is tenacious and does not give up attempting to ignore her simply allows her to make Wilder and Wilder guesses until she comes up with either the right answer or the heat death of the universe.
Mistake number two expecting Halo when confronted with the truth to behave like a normal person. Everything we’ve seen in Universe suggest that Halo is not a normal person especially when she’s shown interacting with the media from her first interview at the bank robbery to her unveiling at the ark SWAT unveiling.
Yeah, Sydney wasn’t exactly ‘norma’ even as a civilian, and since her recruitment she’s met supers, aliens and all manner of cryptids. Why would she react any other way than how she did?
Aren’t Beholders© Lawful Evil? That would make it easier to be part of a group…
Not all of the colours are the same, but nonetheless her eyes make me think of Sydney’s orbs with how colourful they are…
A humanoid beholder!? Awesome.
“Seriously? React like a normal person.”
LOL!
He don’t know who he is talking to, do he? (Despite what he was saying before …)
He? She. Cthillia is female.
He don’t know who he is talking to, do he? (Despite what he was saying before ….)
There are humans more monstrous than he. If he wanted to be viewed as a monster, he should have behaved as one.
Once you get used to someone based on their behavior, appearances don’t mean so much… especially if you are used to the idea that sentience has a wide range of appearances.
She?
“Are you into girls? If not, don’t let Dabbler see your eyestalks…”
a beholder?
“Drow” dates from Old Norse, so the copyright case wouldn’t work very well for them. I think you have to have made up the word, which is why drugs have such weird names now.
“Beholder (C)” is probably limited to being applied to the specific monster rather than the act.
