What would the benefits be?
and could put a link to a picture of one? And if there is more than one thing in that picture, make sure to say which it is.

If you mean the Eyeball Beholderkin, I can think of several benefits.

Its eye rays, all low level though
Its intelligence
And the shear 'wtf' factor of it all.

IIRC correctly, it's the one in the bottom right.

not quite. It's the really tiny one just to the left of the one on the bottom right.

I think that is the blood drinker one.

The one on the far left is a Deathkiss. It's got 10 blood-drinking (con drain) tentacles it can use EACH ROUND, with 20' reach. My favorite variant, by the way.

The eyeless one in the top center is a Beholder Mage. It can cast wizard spells at the cost of its eye rays and antimagic cone.

The one with the tongue is a Gouger. Its a beholder specifically made, by a wizard, to hunt other beholders.

The one in the bottom right is the Eyeball. The little dot to the left of it is actual size, in comparison to the others. It's about 8" across.
