Observer

Observers, also known as Beholders are a race of bizarre Demons that traverse the Twisting Nether and the Great Dark Beyond. Observers are intimidating to behold, possessing of a natural means of levitation, between one and five eyes, a plated carapace, and ten hanging tentacles that function as limbs as well as many sharp rows of teeth, and are capable of devouring many mortal races whole. Observers possess remarkable intelligence, gifting them with Psychic abilities and telekinetic powers in addition to their fearsome appearance.

Observers are enigmatic Demons. While many have joined the Burning Legion, their entire race is by no means a part of it. Observers possess a deep desire to bear witness to all forms of magic and thought in the universe. To obtain this goal, Observers willingly offer their services in exchange for sampling new forms of magic. Some Observers choose the Burning Legion as their method of doing so, while others have joined the Illidari of Illidan Stormrage. Many more will offer their services to the mortal warlocks of individual worlds in exchange for new forms of magic to taste. Some Observers are also loyal to no one but themselves, establishing their own mission to sample all the universe's magics.

Summoning an Observer is highly complex. Being universal wanderers, summoning an Observer would be next to impossible without the willing assistance of an observer to aid the warlock, hence their as of yet subjugation by the Legion. Observers are not enemies of all life like the Demons of the Burning Legion, but are nonetheless highly aggressive, and should be handled cautiously in battle, or when dealing with one.

Interestingly, Observers are one of the few known Demonic species confirmed to procreate, possessing young of their own. How this is accomplished however, is unknown.
