Easily the weakest and most numerous breed of psychosaur, psychoraptors were bred from velociraptors to serve as monitors and trackers of the mind flayers’ slaves. Their psychic powers allow them to probe the surface layers of a person’s mind for seditious thoughts, and to telepathically track down any slave that tries to escape. |
