The mind brute's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components: At will: detect thoughts, levitate ACTIONS Multiattack. The mind brute uses its tongue. It then makes three attacks: one with its tentacles and two with its claws. Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) psychic damage.

Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated humanoid grappled by the mind brute. Hit: The target takes 55 (10d10) piercing damage.

Mind brutes are mind flayers that have been warped by years of alchemical and psychic alteration by their kin. Transformation into a mind brute is viewed as a punishment among illithids, as the future mind brute's intellect and psychic powers are dulled, leaving only mindless loyalty and a fractured mind on the brink of insanity. Some say that mind brutes can communicate with an enigmatic cosmic entity, with some stories even going so far as to say they worship that being, though nothing is known for certain, as the mind brutes are unwilling or perhaps even unable to share any details.
