It can set the area of effect once per round as a free action, or it can choose to deactivate this ability by closing its central eye. This ability otherwise functions as _antimagic field_. ### Eye Rays (Su) Typically, a death tyrant has lost the use of 1d4+1 of its eyes, selected randomly. A death tyrant's eye rays can produce the following effects: _charm person_, _charm monster_, _disintegrate_, _fear_, _finger of death_, _flesh to stone_, _inflict moderate wounds_ , _sleep_ (no HD limit), _slow_, _telekenesis_ ### Limited Range (Ex) An eye tyrant's bite attack only threatens creatures on the #### tactics A death tyrant is programmed with specific instructions when it is created. These instructions are usually quite simple; for example: “Attack all humans who enter this chamber until they are destroyed or flee. Do not leave the chamber.” A death tyrant with no instructions simply attacks all living things it perceives. Though it is a mindless undead, it still fights a semblence of its former intelligence, using its eyes as effectively as possible. #### ecology **Terrain** Any land and underground **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 12–16 HD (Large); 17–33 HD (Huge) The death tyrant is an undead form of beholder akin to a zombie, though it retains some of the beholder’s innate magical abilities. A death tyrant appears as a rotting, mold-encrusted beholder. Gaping wounds—whether from injury or simply decomposition— expose the insides of its body, and it is either missing a few eyestalks or has a milky film covering some of its eyes. Because of its zombielike state, it moves and turns more slowly than other beholders.
