Ahead of you floats a spherical creature slowly rotating in your direction to reveal an enormous maw filled with row upon row of teeth.
Eyeless orbs came into being when a small rift opened between the Abyss and an unknown beholder settlement killing all the adult beholders and warping the young in their birthing pools.
The eyeless ones live alone, knowing that any beholder would attack it on sight.
Eyeless orbs are 7 feet wide spheres with an enormous maw filled with shark like teeth.
Eyeless orbs speak Abyssal, Undercommon, and Beholder.
COMBAT
Lacking the ranged spell-like effects of their fore fathers eyeless orbs have to rely upon their myriad of teeth
