The remaining eyes must aim at targets in other arcs, or not at all. During a single round, a beholder can aim only three eye rays at targets in any one 90 degree arc (up, forward, backward, left, right, or down).

Once each round, during its turn, the beholder decides whether the antimagic cone is active or not (the beholder deactivates the cone by shutting its central eye).Įye Rays (Su): Each of a beholder’s ten small eyes can produce a magical ray once per round as a free action.

Beholders are more common on the distant Red Planet, Akiton, whose colder environment suits them better. The subterranean city of Deepmarket beneath Goka includes a thriving community of beholders that openly deals with the city’s other races.
On Golarion, beholders are most common in cold wastelands and wilderness like the River Kingdoms, the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, Iobaria, Kaoling, and the caverns of Nar-Voth, but many also hide in the deepest sewers of metropolises like Absalom and Westcrown, preying upon or manipulating the dwellers above. Beholders have no racial god, though they sometimes devote themselves to archdevils, especially the greedy Mammon and imperious Asmodeus.
It is unknown whence came beholders, though beholders themselves have a racial memory of a “Great Mother” who spawned the first of their race. Despite their hatred of their own kind, beholders are innately lawful, treating members of “lesser races” as useful tools and forming small tribes, mercenary outfits, or thieves’ guilds. The only thing a beholder hates more than a non-beholder is one of its own kind, as each beholder sees every other member of its race as a mockery of its own perfect image. These aberrations are gripped with pathological narcissism and xenophobia, manifesting in an irrational hatred of anything not like themselves. Beholders, also known as eye tyrants, are powerful monstrosities that lurk in caves, ruins, and even in the shadows of civilization.
