A spectator's bite attack only threatens creatures in this area until the start of its next turn. ### Spell Turning Cone(Su) A spectator's central eye produces a 90-foot cone that reflects spells cast on the spectator back onto their caster, as if by _spell turning_. The cone reflects 1d4+6 spells levels and refreshes at the start of the spectator's turn. #### tactics Although a spectator prefers to avoid combat entirely, it is by no means defenseless. If forced to fight or defend an object it is guarding, it is capable of inflicting great harm with its eye rays. #### ecology **Terrain** Any land (Mechanus) **Organization** Solitary, pair, or cluster (3–6) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 7–15 HD (Medium) Spectators are the most moderate and calm of the beholderkin. Native to the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus, these extraplanar beholderkin are encountered on the Material Plane as guardians. Spectators have been known to spend decades contemplating philosophical and theological questions, and engage adventurers and explorers in such conversations when they are encountered. They rarely attack others on sight, and they prefer to flee from attacks by powerful creatures. Spectators are about 3 feet in diameter and weigh about 250 pounds.
