Omeluum was born with a propensity for arcane magic, giving it the strength to resist the elder brain and defect. Following its ambitions to better the world, Omeluum joined the Society of Brilliance, and now conducts research with its friend and fellow member, Blurg. Currently, they are working to improve living conditions in the Underdark, as well as researching a means to subdue mind flayer "appetites" in hopes of reducing his need to consume brains from one per month to perhaps one per year.
 
=== Quests ===
* [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]]
* [[Retrieve Omeluum]]

The player can first meet Omeluum after talking to the Hobgoblin trader Blurg at the Myconid Colony. Blurg is a fellow scholar of the [[Society of Brilliance]], who will bring Omeluum to help the player.
The party can first meet Omeluum after talking to the Hobgoblin trader {{CharLink|Blurg}} at the Myconid Colony. Blurg is a fellow scholar of the Society of Brilliance, who will bring Omeluum to help the party.
The party has several opportunities to attack Omeluum during dialogue, and some [[Companions]] might actually suggest it. Still, if the party listens to Omeluum they will learn that it is a rogue member of its society who was born with special powers that allow it to resist the control of the [[Elder Brain]] of its colony. Omeluum feeds on the brains of creatures of the Underdark 'that oppose the Society's goals', and wishes to help others of his kind by discovering a brain-free diet.

Omeluum feeds on the brains of creatures of the Underdark 'that oppose the Society's goals', and wishes to help others of his kind by discovering a brain-free diet.
Should the party accept the {{Quest|Help Omeluum investigate the parasite}} quest, Omeluum will ask the party to find some rare mushrooms to prepare its special decoct. The recipe includes {{SmRarityItem|Tongue of Madness}} and {{SmRarityItem|Timmask Spores (ingredient)|Timmask Spores}}, which both supposedly can be found in the Underdark. However, Blurg will interject and suggest that the party might very conveniently look them up in the [[Arcane Tower]] of a local cleric, [[Lenore De Hurst]].

However, [[Blurg]] will interject and suggest that the player might very conveniently look them up in the [[Arcane Tower]] of a local cleric, [[Lenore De Hurst]].
Once the party brings Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole.


Once the player brings Omeluum the required ingredients, it will attempt to remove the tadpole. Omeluum will not only fail, but also make the tadpole more powerful (granting whomever drank the potion [[Survival Instinct]]). The Mindflayer will be surprised and worried about the power of the tadpole, and will apologize for not being of service.
The party must clear their mind:
* {{Dialogue option|''Use meditation to clear your mind.''|tags=Monk|roll=Wisdom|dc=10|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Draw on your willpower and resist.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=10}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Focus on the present, not the illusions.''|roll=Intelligence|dc=10}}


Unable to bring the tadpole issue to a close, Omeluum will then offer the player the [[Ring of Mind-Shielding]], which can limit the powers of the larva. The player can either buy this ring or convince Omeluum to give it to them in several variants: by {{Ability check|Persuasion|15}} (a githyanki Tav will have an unique dialogue line for this option), {{Ability check|Intimidation|20}}, or proposing to describe the inner structure of a [[Nautiloid]]. The latter demands either an {{Ability check|Intelligence|10}} which has an [[Advantage]] if the player has read a relevant [[Rune Slate]] while being on the ship in the [[Prologue]], or a {{Ability check|Performance|10}}.
...and then resist the tadpole fighting the potion:
* {{Dialogue option|''Call to your god for protection.''|tags=Cleric|roll=Wisdom|dc=15|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|'''''No fear. ONLY FURY!'''''|tags=Berserker|roll=Wisdom|dc=15|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Fear? '''''What's that?'''''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Wisdom|dc=15|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Drown out the tadpole by focusing on a tune.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=15}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Resist the panic from within.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=15}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Wall off your mind from the psionic seizure.''|roll=Intelligence|dc=15}}


After passing the ring to the player (by any available way), the quest [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite]] will be complete, and Omeluum  becomes open for trading with the party. He has several unique items in stock (see below).  
Omeluum will still fail, but also make the tadpole more powerful (granting whomever drank the potion [[Survival Instinct]]). The Mindflayer will be surprised and worried about the power of the tadpole, and will apologize for not being of service.
Purchasing from him a book ''[[On Illithids, Volume XXVI]]'' and reading it earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|21x21px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] The Forbidden Arcane ([[Sage]] background).
 
Unable to bring the tadpole issue to a close, Omeluum will then offer the party the {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Mind-Shielding}}, which can limit the powers of the larva. The party can then make an offer for it:
 
* {{Dialogue option|I have gold. Will that suit?}}
* {{Dialogue option|I've flown on a mind flayer ship. I can trade you details of the schematics, if you're interested.}}
* {{Dialogue option|How about I tell you more about that nautiloid? Every last detail.}}
** {{Dialogue option|''Give a dramatic retelling of your time on the mind flayer ship.|roll=Performance|dc=10}}
** {{Dialogue option|''Offer a detailed, logical analysis of the nautiloid.''|roll=Intelligence|dc=10}}
** {{Dialogue option|''Enrich your story with details from the designs you found on the nautiloid.''|roll=Intelligence|dc=10|advantage=y}} (if the party read the {{SmRarityItem|Rune Slate}} during the [[Prologue]])
* {{Dialogue option|I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for a mind flayer. You owe me.|roll=Persuasion|dc=15}}
* {{Dialogue option|Your people enslaved mine. The debt is yours to repay.|tags=Duergar, Githyanki|roll=Persuasion|dc=15|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|Either give me the ring, or I'll run you through.|roll=Intimidation|dc=20}}
* {{Dialogue option|Something of little value - '''your life.'''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Intimidation|dc=20|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|'''YOUR LIFE. GIVE IT.'''|tags=Berserker|roll=Intimidation|dc=20|advantage=y}}
* {{Dialogue option|''Perform the tale of your adventures so far: 'The Ballad of Brains, Brine Pools and Balderdash.'''|tags=Bard|roll=Performance|dc=15}}

=== Act Three ===
=== Act Three ===
If [[Steal a Githyanki Egg]] was resolved without [[Lady Esther]] receiving the [[Githyanki Egg|githyanki egg]], then in Chapter Three the party will meet Omeluum's companion [[Blurg]] at the [[Society of Brilliance Lodge]]. Blurg informs that they both returned to Baldur's Gate to report to the Society of Brilliance their findings about the player's condition. However, shortly afterwards Omeluum decided to investigate the situation on its own… and disappeared. Blurg tells that his friend believed the problem to be connected to the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. He seems not to be overly concerned with Omeluum's whereabouts, but shall agree if the player proposes to track the illithid down.

This starts the [[Retrieve Omeluum]] quest.
This starts the {{Quest|Retrieve Omeluum}} quest.


There are no clear hints as to where to start searching, apart from Blurg's vague assumptions. However, if the party decides to help [[Zanner Toobin]] and/or servants of [[Umberlee]] (quests [[Save the Gondians]] and [[Avenge the Drowned]] respectively), Omeluum will connect to the player's mind telepathically upon docking at the [[Iron Throne]]. It will althruistically prompt the player to save [[Duke Ravengard]], who is also held in the underwater prison, and bide the party not to be concerned with its own fate. Nonetheless, it is possible to save the rogue illithid along with Ravengard and some (or all) [[Gondian]] captives.

Omeluum is held in a separate cell in the south-west corner of the [[Iron Throne]], restrained to a surgical bed. It will become a temporary companion with the ability to [[Teleport to Submersible]].
Omeluum is held in a separate cell in the south-west corner of the Iron Throne, restrained to a surgical bed. It will become an [[Attached Follower]] with the ability to {{SAI|Teleport to Submersible}}.
Once rescued, Omeluum teleports to the Lodge. Unlike Blurg, it cannot be traded with, although it can be pickpocketed. To finish the [[Retrieve Omeluum]] quest, the player needs to talk to the illithid once more. Omeluum will tell that the Society won't actively help the party in its further battles, but provides the player with several items selected from the Society' vaults, in gratitude for saving its tentacles.
