Podcasts about beholders

There are monsters in tabletop RPGs that exist to be fought, monsters that exist to be feared, and monsters that exist to make the Dungeon Master quietly whisper, "I hope you prepared spells with saving throws." Beholders fall squarely into that last category. This week on RPGBOT.Podcast, we're diving deep into Beholder-Kin — floating orbs of paranoia, laser violence, and architectural malpractice. From tiny gazers that exist solely to be annoying, to death tyrants that refuse to stay dead out of spite, we explore why beholders remain one of Dungeons & Dragons' most iconic, miserable, and tactically terrifying monsters. Along the way, we discuss dream-based reproduction, anti-magic cones, and why every beholder lair looks like it was designed to fail a building inspection on purpose. Show Notes Beholders are one of the oldest and most recognizable monsters in Dungeons & Dragons, and for good reason. They aren't just bags of hit points with flashy attacks — they're intelligent, paranoid, and cruel creatures that reshape both combat and storytelling the moment they appear in a campaign. In this episode, the hosts break down what defines beholders and their many variants, collectively known as Beholder-Kin, and why they're such effective villains across nearly every tier of play. The discussion starts with what makes beholders fundamentally different from other monsters. Their signature eye rays, combined with a central anti-magic eye, mean that fights against beholders rarely follow predictable patterns. Even experienced players are forced to react rather than execute clean plans. The randomness of eye rays creates chaos, but the creature's intelligence means that chaos is applied with intent — the rays may be random, but the targets absolutely are not. From there, the conversation expands into the many variants of Beholder-Kin found throughout D&D. Gazers, spectators, gauths, mind witnesses, beholder zombies, death kisses, and death tyrants all represent different expressions of the same alien biology. Each fills a distinct role, allowing Dungeon Masters to introduce beholder-themed encounters from the earliest levels all the way into high-tier play without losing flavor or threat. This flexibility is one of the reasons beholders remain so enduring in D&D design. Combat tactics play a major role in the episode, especially the importance of running beholders intelligently. A beholder that floats into melee range and trades bite attacks is a beholder being played incorrectly. These creatures thrive on distance, verticality, and environmental control. Their lairs are often carved with disintegration rays, filled with vertical shafts, traps, and contingency plans, and designed to punish creatures that rely on gravity. When played well, a beholder encounter feels less like a fair fight and more like surviving a hostile environment that actively hates you. The episode also dives into beholder lore and ecology, which somehow manages to be both fascinating and deeply unsettling. Earlier editions described grotesque physical reproduction, while modern D&D reframes beholder reproduction as a dream-based phenomenon where nightmares literally manifest new beholders into reality. This almost always results in immediate territorial violence, reinforcing the idea that beholders are incapable of peaceful coexistence — even with themselves. To balance the horror, the hosts also explore notable exceptions in D&D lore. Famous beholders like Xanathar embody tragic paranoia, while figures like Large Luigi — an omniscient beholder tavern owner in Spelljammer — prove that even reality-warping aberrations can choose hospitality over genocide. These examples highlight how beholders can serve not just as villains, but as unforgettable NPCs, information brokers, or narrative wild cards. The episode wraps by touching on player-facing options. While players can't normally play beholders, they can still interact with Beholder-Kin through warlock patrons, summoned spectators, or gazer familiars. Used carefully, these options let players brush up against beholder weirdness without completely breaking the game — though the temptation to do something irresponsible is always there. Key Takeaways Beholder-Kin work because they operate on multiple levels at once. Mechanically, they introduce chaos through randomized effects, but narratively they reward intelligent, ruthless play. A beholder encounter is never just about hit points — it's about positioning, preparation, and survival. These monsters scale exceptionally well across a campaign. From CR ½ gazers to CR 14 death tyrants, Beholder-Kin allow Dungeon Masters to introduce consistent themes without repeating the same fight. Each variant reinforces the core beholder identity while adding new tactical wrinkles. Lair design is not optional when using beholders. Their environments are an extension of their personality: vertical, hostile, and unapologetically unfair. A beholder fought on flat ground is missing half its threat. Finally, beholders remain iconic because they embody the strange heart of D&D. They're terrifying, absurd, overdesigned, and deeply committed to their own misery. Whether used as cosmic horror, dungeon boss, or omniscient bartender, Beholder-Kin remind us that sometimes the most memorable monsters are the ones that don't want to exist — but absolutely refuse to stop.

This week it's talk about a new Dungeons and Dragons pinball machine from Stern. Also the ecology of the Beholder, thus proving Volo knows nothing, and random 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons monsters.

The newly restored REAL Skeleton Crew make plans to reach the domain of the god of Beholders, by infiltrating the infamous Prison of Sigil!

In today's round up of the first half of 2024 we hear from Hiba Noor Khan and Sophia's War, we visit Harlem After Midnight with author Louise Hare, Michael McGee stays Close to Home, Becky Holmes tells us Keanu Reeves is Not in Love With You, Lynda Marron has a Last Chance in Paris and we talk about The Beholders with Hester Musson.

This week Marcos Leon and a group of Faithwalkers finish with the series of conversations titled 'Beholding.' Today the topic was becoming beholdres. The group is following the book: Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God by Strahan Coleman. This conversation was originally recorded in June of 2024. See notes and questions in ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 

Beholders are described in the Monster Manual as “one glance is enough to assess its foul and otherworldly nature. Aggressive, hateful, and greedy, these aberrations dismiss all other creatures as lesser beings, toying with them or destroying them as they choose." We are joined by Zac Naoum. If you've ever found a surprise $5 in your pocket, Zac Speaks Giant put it there (you're welcome). On his YouTube channel, you can find D&D But Real, a one shot replacing every roll with a physical or mental challenge - like D&D meets Taskmaster meets Saw? Kill Every Monster is a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons podcast. In each episode, we are joined by a guest to discuss the lore, mechanics, and story potential of classic D&D creatures. We debate tactics for maximizing these creatures in your game, and we ask the ever-important question: are they really a monster? Send us your questions for a future mailbag episode!

Behold! This week we're talking about the paranoid, xenophobic, floating mess of eyes and magical powers known as beholders. A staple of Dungeons and Dragons from the very beginning, they are still not as iconic as some of the other big monsters, and certainly don't have the same level of recognition and lore.

En esta ocasión conoceremos un poco sobre los Beholders y Xanathar, líder del Gremio de los ladrones en la tumultuosa ciuda de los esplendores, Waterdeep. ¡Tomen sus dados, carguen sus mandos, acomoden sus fichas y prepárense para los roles, pues ya comienza Calabozos y Controles! ¡Recuerda sintonizarnos todos los jueves, sabemos que no te arrepentirás!

Beholders and Sahuagin and Mind Flayers, oh my! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat about Monstrous Arcana, a series of sourcebooks and adventures late in the D&D 2E days that explored three of the game's most iconic monsters in alarming detail. The series is one of several crystal balls through which we can see some inkling of what 3E might be — in fact, the sourcebooks lead pretty directly to the excellent Lords of Madness sourcebook in a couple years. * * * We got you covered with Noble Knight through September 14 with code ARCANA.

So a beholder, an adventuring party, and a pair of bewildered brothers walk into a party. Shenanigans are bound to ensue, but can our heroes get Vargan alone for long enough to get the job done? Lance gets very transparent. Mal plays Super Mario 64. Fleeple tries to show off his new spells. • • • Twitter: @ICastFireball20 Instagram: @ICastFireball20 Email: ICastFireball2020@gmail.com Donations: ko-fi.com/icastfireball20 • • • AUDIO CREDITS Mynoise.net Ambience made on the incredible Mynoise.net.

Show Notes: This week, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder as Fiona and Hamilton look at the classic D&D monster - the Beholder! These large, orb-shaped aberrations have ten eyestalks and one central eye, each containing powerful magic. Aggressive, hateful, and greedy, Beholders are among the greatest threats to the world, dismissing all other creatures as lesser beings, toying with them or destroying them as they choose. Chapter discussed: 'Beholders: Bad Dreams Come True' from 'Ch. 1: Monster Lore' Book: 'Volvo's Guide To Monsters' published by Wizards of the Coast, November 2016.

We are joined by @senator_gun on a quest deep into the subterranean lair of the fearsome, paranoid, and incredibly racist Beholder of Dungeons & Dragons fame.

So the Multi-Verse is Split into multiple strands! Yet some Dabus are here to sort things out/disintegrate a third of their being, and then send them down an astral portal that starts to rip and render apart!

Erika Ishii, Eme Ikwuakor, and Becca Scott hoard video game items and dream of Beholders.

“Bone Jaw is ready!”-A quote from the better version of The Macho Man Randy Savage's Spider-Man. This episode is a big one. The Beholder and it's entire evolution line are some of the most iconic Dungeons and Dragons creatures of all time, so naturally, there is a lot to say about them. On the one hand, it's nice to have so much established lore for Beholders, Death Tyrants and Spectators. It makes the world seem more fleshed out. On the other hand, when all that lore is about them being c-tiered level Saturday morning cartoon villains hell-bent on world domination, well, everything becomes a little less nice. Also, they're probably sticky, which is gross. You can probably guess what Kyle and Alex think about these guys, but just to be sure, why not give the episode a listen and see whether the Beholder is a friend or a fiend.

​ The party finds themselves in a dangerous situation. Plans fall apart as Endarinn shows his true colors and in the end, someone is lost.

In this episode we discuss the DnD poster child the Beholder. What they are, where they come from, and how they reproduce. This leads nicely into discussion of our worlds and homebrewing monsters. Thanks to Arcane Anthems for offering amazing royalty free music for nerds like us, we used his amazing tracks Shillelagh (Spirit of Brynn) and Solemn Rest for our intro and outro respectively.
