[Source] In some cases, particularly among gnomes, an illithid tadpole's host will reject the tadpole infecting them. This typically results in the death of the host, mind flayers with no other available hosts devised a psionic ritual to bind the energy of the Plane of Shadows to the very nature of both the host and tadpole, causing them to survive as a mozgriken; mouthless, disfigured beasts as dark as the shadows. In illithid society, mozgriken are considered to be in the same social caste as urophion. They are constantly mistreated by their betters, but can only sustain themselves on the cerebral fluid of the colony's tanks, leaving them no other choice but to serve their masters. Due to their shadowy nature and forced loyalty, mozgriken are used as scouts, and they are likely to flee at the first sign of danger.
