Sphere minions are occasionally found outside the (relative) safety of beholder warrens. Monks possess the right mindset, but fighters, rogues, and members of the other martial classes make poor candidates for the class. Although they must devote a large percentage of their time learning arcane theory to be considered by the Great Mother, some clerics also make good sphere minions. Wizards, sorcerers, and bards are most likely to become sphere minions, because they have an understanding of the arcane forces that beholders employ. The other slaves view them with awe and envy, for the sphere minion has been touched and changed by the Great Mother. Beholders treat sphere minions slightly better than the other slaves, but they still look at them with disgust and disdain. They are the masters and elite among the slaves, preaching the message of the Great Mother and the superiority of beholderkind. Through constant brainwashing and exposure to beholders, they lose any sense of their former identity, making obedience to their masters the only goal worth pursuing. The sphere minion is typically one of the many slaves that belong to a beholder community. By venerating the Great Mother of the beholders, they hope to receive her blessings. They look at their own bodies, with only two feeble eyes and flawed, crude limbs and are filled with disgust. To these people, beholders are the perfect beings that have reached the pinnacle of evolution. Among some humanoids and monstrous humanoids, insane individuals worship the terrible gods of the beholders.
