Neos differ greatly between D&D and Pathfinder. In D&D, neos are overgrown [[ | '''Neothelids''' (I say "nee-OH-theh-[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhSEXdQHwBE lids]"), or '''neos''' if you like, are ginormous worm-like [[aberration | aberrations]]. | ||
Neos differ greatly between D&D and Pathfinder. In D&D, neos are overgrown [[mind flayer]] tadpoles, and are mindless. On Golarion, however, they are the highly intelligent children of the [[Outer Gods | Outer God]] [[Shub-Niggurath]]. | |||

Long story short, mind flayers reproduce by basically nutting in a big pool of brine and then taking their tadpoles and inserting them into your skull. A lot of uncomfortable details later, and boom you have a mind flayer. | |||
Neothelids are what happen when illithid tadpoles are left in said pool of brine and are never inserted into a human. Basically, they get bigger, and the big ones eat their smaller siblings until only one tadpole is left. This tadpole then grows. And grows. And grows. Until—boom—you've got the giant worm thing on the top right of your screen. | |||
These things are nasty and are an illithid colony's worst nightmare<ref>Excluding gith</ref>, namely because neothelids can't be controlled psychically. They lack the intelligence for that. | |||
Yes, you heard it here first: neothelids are literally so fucking stupid that mind flayers can't kill them. | |||

Neos in PF are completely different, since the whole illithid lore had to be dropped (illithids are [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q5oMUJmlFo proprietary]). | |||
They're a way bigger deal on Golarion. Neos here aren't just big snaky boys. They're more in line with [[aboleth | aboleths]] and [[Elder Things]] and [[daelkyr]] and other interdimensional horrors. Neos here are highly intelligent psychic creatures spawned eons ago by the [[Outer Gods | Outer God]] [[Shub-Niggurath]]. They formed a great subterranean empire, and waged many wars against the [[Elder Things]], [[alghollthu | alghollthus]], [[xiomorn | xiomorns]], [[intellect devourer | intellect devourers]], and other ancient races. | |||
