beholder

----- Evil eye can kill if it stares at a victim for long enough -----
Point Value: 1
Notes:
Beholders cannot be produced; if you want to have any, you must seek them out and hypnotize them. Beholders are similar in strength and overall function to dragons. They move as fast as anything except an elf, spider, or red dragon; and they can transfix an enemy from a distance by staring at it. A guardian stone and a lightning stone in combination is your only hope, short of a mob attack, of defeating an enemy's beholder.
