However, those spells require a body to work. The death ray can kill a creature if it reduces its hit points to zero, but a Revivify or Raise Dead spell still can restore that individual’s life after the fact. The disintegration ray is perhaps the most dangerous. Ten more eye stalks protrude from the beholder, each of which can shoot a different type of destructive ray: charm, paralysis, fear, slowing, enervation (necrotic damage), telekinesis, sleep, petrification, disintegration, and death. This flying monster has one large, central eye which projects a large anti-magic cone, which makes it much more difficult for spellcasting opponents to fight it. The beholder is a terrifying aberration, a classic monster that a dungeon master can use to get a party’s attention in a hurry.
