Can beholders reproduce?

Yes, beholders can reproduce, but through strange, psychological means like dream-manifestation, where vivid dreams of other beholders (or variations) create new, living offspring, or sometimes through asexual reproduction, leading to variations like gazers or death kisses, rather than typical biological mating, though older lore also mentioned they have organs and give birth. Their offspring are often imperfect, fueling their innate paranoia, as no beholder can dream of an exact duplicate.

How does a beholder reproduce?

Beholders reproduce in two main ways, both rooted in their powerful minds: dream-spawning, where a vivid dream creates a new beholder (or kin), and a form of asexual budding where they grow an egg sac under their tongue, develop young internally, and then vomit them out, often consuming all but the one that most resembles themselves. This unusual birth method contributes to their extreme paranoia and inherent hatred for any variation from their "perfect" form, as they see other beholders as flawed copies.
