Basic Expert: Beholder-kin

|             2 Inches            |
The Beholder doesnt appear in BX D&D so these beholder-kin will be somewhat unique...

Occulus-Minor
Armor Class      7
Hit Dice              8**
Fly                       180' (60')
Attacks               1 bite, Special
Damage              1d4+see below
No. Appearing   1 (1)
Save As               Magicuser: 8
Morale                 8
Treasure              O(L)
Alignment           Chaotic

Notes: the lesser Occulus is a sentient leathery eyeball capable of flight that is perhaps a few inches in diameter with up to ten tiny eyes on eyestalks and a mouth filled with needle-like teeth. The eyestalks each have the ability to cast a single spell daily as a Necromancer (8th level magic-user): 3×1st, 3×2nd, 2×3rd, 2×4th level spells.
A Lesser Occulus is a form assumed by a 9th level Magicuser who uses an eyeball and brain tissue (their own) successfully enchanting it with all first to fourth level spells and applies an animate dead to the eye before they die. A successful wish transfering their conciousness. Usually Necromancers animate their remaining corpse as a Zombie Servitor.
Outside its lair, a lesser Occulus will be 1 in 20 chance carrying 1-4 gem stones in its maw, or be busily extorting gems from the PCs under threat of extermination. It might have a collection of numerous gems or even scrolls in its lair.
