Hey Wolfy: I envy you the fact that you are shifting genres. You can do almost anything creative and just have it be a cool mutation. Like suppose the "Mind Flayers" no longer had heads at all because they had mutated so their brains were protected within their torso, and their heads now have mouths where the neck stumps used to be. The tentacles are still there but now they are 8 feet long and barbed.
Same monster stats block, completely new and kewl creature. And nobody will complain because YOUR "mind flayer" doesn't look like the traditional version. That sort of leeway kinda gets the creative juices flowing ... Faust PS.
