Well... the zombie child in forest was awesome.
Freaky little *beep*
shareIt also had the worst mind flayer ever. The main villain Shathrax, the pale dude with mouth sewn shut and red jewel stuck on his forehead, was supposed to be a mind flayer! A slobbering monstrosity with a tentacled face and brainsucking tendencies it most certainly was not.
shareI agree with both your post and the TCs. The zombie child was downright awesome and Shathrax certainly was NOT a mind flayer.
Speaking of villains, does anybody know what that scarred, bug-guy, a.k.a "I-can-extend-my-eye-out-of-my-socket", was? I got what the three other members of the main "evil" group were (barbarian, assassin, and witch), but I don't know what the bug-guy was.

I had trouble giving him a set role as well. He was evil, obviously but I'd say he would fit into a druid or wizard class, maybe some of both.
Also agreed the saving throws for this movie are Eleanor Gecks and the zombie child. I actually fell asleep before the movie came on TV and woke up when the zombie child was screaming and tottering around. It freaked me out since I had no idea what was going on but it was cool enough that I ended up watching it from the beginning.
The bug guy was their take on the 3.5e Vermin Lord, which is a prestige class that is actually in The Book of Vile Darkness source book and usually selected by either Clerics or Druids. In the film, I would say this particular Vermin Lord was Druid based with some possible Rogue levels. However, his eye trick is a Lvl 7 Sorcerer/Wizard spell called Eye of the Beholder (photo on page 95), so in gaming terms he'd have to have a bit of rank in either of those classes (possibly instead of Druid).
As for the little girl creature, I could swear one of the source books had a little girl corpse creature with a doll but I can not think of what book it was nor it's name.
{Edit} Found it. The zombie child is a Slaymate, a template in Libris Mortis.
I was playing Final Fantasy 3 at the times, but was confused when I came on here & saw the summary mention a Lord Mind Flayer. And I was wondering if I saw a different movie or they messed up.
Him being a Mind Flayer is about as horrible the growling Eye Tyrant in the 1st movie.

He was probably going to be a mind flayer originally but the cgi budget got chopped too soon so they did some makeup and slapped a jewel on his forehead and turned him into a psionic user.
shareHe is named the Mind Flayer not a Mind Flayer. So probably his Mind Flayer is a title or name he got from his evil deeds in destroying peoples minds. He after all seemed to have two slaves who repeated his words and motions of his body.
