The Orb-Tyrant
Medium aberration, lawful evil
A smaller cousin of the watcher, the orb-tyrant is a floating orb of eyes and leathery flesh. It lacks the raw magical might of its greater kin but makes up for it with spite and cunning. Orb-tyrants are territorial bullies that collect shiny objects and magical trinkets.
