Yes, I understand that.

I'm not saying it can't be done.  I'm saying that when you do this you risk
unintentionally infringing on Hasbro's IP.  For special cases like Mind
flayers, Otyugh and others, you may not understand just how little you can
say and NOT step on Hasbro's rights.  Most people didn't even realize it was
a problem.

It either would not look like an MM mind flayer's face, or it would be
infringing.  Which would you prefer?
