Bah! Abomination! :headexplo

But really, can you even call that thing a mind flayer? It may have the mind blast ability and be able to use an, albeit strange, extract attack. I would say not. It doesn't even have the tentacle mouth!
As fun as it would be to play a creature like you have created, I must say that I don't think it can be called a mind flayer.

But, getting away from my rant...
As a creature it looks pretty solid, except that you didn't put any psionic powers down. Really, it looks identical to a normal mind flyaer except you changed the way it looks. I suppose it might possibly help mind flayers infiltrate societies, but why would they need to? They could just psionically disguise themselves.

It may be a revamp of how a mind flayer looks, but really it is almost exactly the same otherwise. I suggest adding a signature ability more suited to its new form.
