There is a stat block for it. :) You can find it in the stat block list in the 'ancient map room' stickied on the main patreon page.

Would love a link to any stat block people have made for this. I've tried a few attempts but just not happy with them

That flame touch is godly. I love it!

Been away for a good while, but I thought I'd share how I made it since it seems there is still interest. I used this animated gif for the eye (https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7b0c8a_9fb02b1ceeed4c7b846aa4da820600ba~mv2.gif/v1/fit/w_525,h_525,al_c,q_80/file.png), then I opened up the beholder map in paint and erased the section of eye that was to be animated. You can save the image such that the erased area is transparent. After that, just upload the animated eye and the eyeless beholder image to Roll 20 as maps. Make sure that the eye gif is behind the eyeless beholder and that it is sized and positioned so that the animated eye fills the eyeless gap on the beholder map. There is an option in Roll20 to enable animated tokens and assets, though I don't completely remember if you need to have the enhancement suite set up. It very easy to do in the Firefox browser; just go to this link in a Firefox tab and download it (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roll20-enhancement-suite/).

I know it's been a while, but I'm new here - I'd like to second Aubrey's request for Cotton's animation. Sick in the best way! Please do share.

Cotton, that animation is super creepy! Can you share the animation file? Animated GIF? Does Roll20 let you run animations?

I've been DMing for this party about three or so years now and we've recently moved to Roll20 due to social distancing. Maps like these really help to keep things fresh and exciting for my party. I'm planning on treating them to a lightning rail heist soon. I'll be excited to see if I can animate that too!

I'm not so handy with screen recording, so here's a short video of it I took with my phone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NOdVBQ8C3viMfVv53_cbkKilEBjQZyma/view?usp=sharing

Woah, that sounds so cool! Do you have a video of it animating?

I actually used this in my last session, editing it slightly so that the large eye in the center was animated. Finding ways to scare my level 17 players is always a challenge.

This is the one that made me a patron - used both this and your world of dreams in an encounter with a (more) nightmarish beholder that kept shifting the party into pseudo-real alternate dimensions, and thank you so much for making their wailing and gnashing possible! (Technically, they're still fighting him, if you'd like to drop another bizarro world before Saturday...) ;)

Now to figure out where stats for this exist already. Failing that, let's see what the most time effective method to stat this creature out would be.

Cze and Peku

If anyone has any good idea for more maps to make with Živko, please feel free to suggest them! We're thinking things like hells, demons, devils, outer planes and other chaotic spaces. Give us your best ideas!

Cze and Peku

Thanks John. Time to get a one-shot going with your players!

Hanna Reinhart

Shame. That would've been cool.

Holy sh-- This is so amazing!

Cze and Peku

I was tempted to do a variation with a bunch of forks stuck into the eye but I just couldn't bring myself to do it...

Cze and Peku

IADnDMN (https://www.patreon.com/ItsADnDMonsterNow) is currently on holiday but he might have some clever ideas for stats or lair ideas. I'll make sure to ask him! Perhaps the standing stones disintergrate over time or get targeted by his eye stalks so you have to keep on dodging to different ones.

ZeroMyths

These are crazy - would be sick for the beholder to have a stat block or "lair block" - would make an interesting map fight rather than sticking to one place most of a fight... definitely gonna put this up against my high level party.
