'SUMMON MASTERY' Illithids becoming necromancers is against their nature, for it is the illithid way to control minds, and the undead is without them. Nevertheless, there were a few illithids who became powerful enough to detach themselves from the hive mind of the illithid kingdom. Known thereafter as alhoon, these single-minded creatures always attained lichdom and become amongst the most dangerous of all foes. For an alhoon, summoning their prey in an instant is an effortless task for their capable minds.
