I think we haven't, but it's worth to mention there must be an explanation for vampiric illithids existence. As far as I know it's a mystery how there are "made" so is would make sense if Astarion was about to turn into one.


Good point! And those ones are canonically barely sentient, right? And have the double penalty of needing brains and blood. So presumably that's where we got the divergence: no soul (or non-compatible soul?) to begin with => no sentience (or barely any). I wonder why they can't create spawns?
