Illithid Xenotype Mod

Author of the Illithid Xenotype Mod: Sovereign

Illithids are a race of psychically gifted, archotech-enhanced xenohumans. Armed with frightening mental abilities, they seek dominion over all. The scourge of every world they set upon, the illithids prey upon the weak and feebleminded, enthralling them into doing their bidding as mindless slaves. Yet an even worse fate awaits those strong enough to resist them, as upon capture they are infected with illithid tadpoles that rapidly change them into another illithid, adding the host’s unique strengths into their own ranks. Struggling in direct combat, they prefer to hang back, directing their thralls while floating above the battlefield and distributing their foes with their psychic abilities.

Illithid Xenotype Mod features

This mod add a new xenotype that makes more of itself with the use of tadpoles. They usually need a lot of slaves to flourish. This mod comes with careful balancing, custom sounds and a TON of effort. Enjoy!

This mod adds 1 xenotype, 1 scenario, 1 weapon, 1 building.

You can’t craft or build them and you need the custom scenario to access them.
