Pink Brains with feet? You mean Intellect Devourers? The Mind Flayer pets that are a staple of D&D? I don't know any campaigns that feature Mind Flayers without Intellect Devourers at their sides. And yes, their design in BG3 is accurate.
The original games had plenty of sunny areas and weren't doom and gloom environments all the time. All I'm saying is, the demo for BG3 showed variety (sunny beach, dark dungeon, scary crypt). If that's not enough for you, I don't know what to say.
Please just check how the int. devourer looks in the pdf that you posted and then go and watch the BG3 gameplay again.
In the demo they look like PINK BRAINS WITH SMALL FEET, they look like a joke, they dont look scary nor weird, they even look cute.
That is the whole problem I'm trying to stress out here.
