Gaze of the Astral Beholder

 Gaze of the Astral Beholder

Deep within the twisting corridors of the Underdark, an ancient Beholder named Xalthor the Ever-Watchful spent centuries obsessing over the mysteries of the cosmos. Driven mad by visions of distant galaxies, Xalthor channeled its terrifying eyestalk magic into a bid to transcend physical form. When a ritual backfired, the tyrant’s physical body dissolved into nebula mist, trapping its many unnatural, staring eyes inside solidifying shards of cosmic resin.

Suspended within rich, swirling royal purple mist and deep galaxy blue smoke, each polyhedral die encloses a striking, unblinking eye—ranging from fiery crimson and eerie slit-pupil amber to celestial turquoise and void-black irises. Iridescent glitter flakes drift around the eyes like floating starlight, while vibrant metallic green numbers ink each face, binding the tyrant's watchful essence into geometric balance.

To roll the Gaze of the Astral Beholder is to command the terrifying omniscience of a creature that never sleeps. Great Old One warlocks, Aberrant Mind sorcerers, and shadow-stepping rogues carry these dice to pierce magical darkness, see through deceptive illusions, and inflict total paranoia upon their foes.
