Alright chaps, it clearly states SPOILERS in the thread title. No need for these tags, so..
Well. I suspect the mind Flayers associated with the Absolute aren't the same as the 'regular' Flayers, the ones that added your tadpole. I supect the Absolute's forces have 'merely' subjugated an Elder Brain or somesuch to control 'people' with a tadpole.
In point of fact, the Flayer Invsasion of Baldur's Gate, as depicted in the game's trailer could be very well in response to just that.
