Mind flayers must consume the brains of humanoids in order to stay alive.

Little is known about what a mind flayer’s brain contains. Some have argued that their skulls are filled with eggs that will later become the tadpoles with which they enthrall their victims. Others propose that the brain is in fact a cluster of pure cerebral nerves. Since mind flayers procreate by tadpoling humanoids, they technically have no need of genitals, but I have been unable to verify this in the absence of any written record. | Little is known about what a mind flayer’s brain contains.
