EYE-STALKER Armour Class: 9

Attacks: Nil
Damage: See description
No. Appearing: 1
Save As: Normal Human
Morale: 12
Alignment: Neutral
Intelligence: 1
Treasure Type: Nil
XP Value: 6
Description: These fungi are parasitic in nature and will infect any open wound as spores growing into a mature eyestalk at the rate of one per week connecting into a host’s neural network and functioning as an actual eye. The host will eventually die after a number of eyestalks equal to his/her/its hit-points have grown to maturity. The infestation can be removed by fire and remove disease and remove curse though it will leave the victim blinded for many days until the brain gets used to decreased neural transmitter activity. This particular fungus is capable of functioning with the Oozers as their ‘eyes’.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Armour Class: 9
Hit Dice: 1hp*
Move: 3’(1’)
Attacks: Disease
Damage: See description
No. Appearing: 2 (as a pair)
Save As: Fighter: L1
Morale: 12
Alignment: Neutral
Intelligence: 10
Treasure Type: Nil
XP Value: 6
Description: The spore of this fungus causes the eyes to fall out (save vs. Disease to avoid) and continue to live on as fungi stalks rupture from the eyeballs and cause the eye to swell and bloat to a huge size. The fungus stalks become eye stalks as the eye becomes a beholder. Consequently when an adult Beholder dies it will eventually dry out and become a ball of spores that will explode and disperse. It takes a while for the ability to fly to kick in – they are unable to do so until they become beholders after a year rolling about.

Something I found drawn in my father's schoolbook: Captain Conquest
Found Captain Conquest here drawn in my father's school book from his childhood (early 1950's) so I guess he qualifies as public domain these days.
Enjoy. ;-)

Information theory: aliens know...
You likely enjoyed the previous blog post on information theory and that whole accuracy of information the villagers of such and such have about what goes on in the capital city of some place...but lets give this some scifi relevence. If we truly reside on an information mesh then we must assume that mesh extends beyond our ball of planety stuff (lets call it stuff we found in our naval). Our glorious capital city of earth with seven billion people can be discerned to exist (100%) by any species with sufficient technological capacity determined by this variation our little formula:
Distance=^0.4root((7000000^0.87)/(100%/0.24))
The distance we can be identified as 100% being 'here' is 90.8 light years. How significant is this? There are estimated to be 448 G-type (yellow-orange) stars within a 50-100 light year range and 512 such stars at a 100 ly limit.
