Beholders have one magical ability that renders them extremely dangerous, they have the ility to levitate at will. They can hover at will above doorways and attack unsuspecting predators without ever being seen. They have a protective skin that only bombs can penetrate and they are immune to any magical power. If a Mage were to cast a lightning spell upon a Beholder, the spell would bounce off the skin and hit the Mage who cast it, doing far more damage to him than the Beholder.

Beholders are a naturally aggressive race and will attack other Beholder classes, they are aligned with lawful evil and they seldom lose in any battle since sub terrain levels rarely carry bombs around. Evil-Created Beholders can produce magic and it will always come from the great eye which is centered in the middle of the body.
