Mind Flayer Tadpoles are Abberations that are used by the Illithid to transform other Humanoids into more Illithids through a process known as 
Ceremorphosis. The player character and the origin companions of Baldur's Gate 3 have all been infected with tadpoles. One of the first main Quests in the game is to Find a Cure for the tadpole.
