Nothic
Nothics are utterly insane predators that lunge and lurk erratically in the depths of the darkest places on the material plane. They come in a staggering amount of varieties, as do most aberrations, but are all cyclopsies with unnerving eyes that seem to see right through all. Their purpose, desires, and actions are all alien in nature as they only seem to hunt, serve, and spread evil.
Erratic and Malevolent
Nothics are insane and almost as evil as they are unpredictable. Their minds are a puzzle to all mortals and beings that value sanity. Even their movements make no sense as they lurch about on unsteady legs. If at any point Nothics understood where they came from or how they were created that time has long passed and they now only seek to cause ruin.
Cyclopsian Aberrations
Nothics resemble hunched, misshapen humanoids with an awkward gait. Their most distinctive feature is the large, single eye that dominates their face. They have many forms and can be bulky or thin or have many fingers or as few as three. Many have skeletal faces devoid of lips that show off frightful fangs and others can be covered in thick chitinous plates that can grow over their mouths.
Solitary Hunters and Jesters
Not many would ever ally with a Nothic as they are insane and unsettling. A majority of them hunt on their own in the deepest parts of the Underdark but some can be made into servants and jesters of more powerful, sick minded creatures. Due to their erratic behaviors and movements they are made fun of and forced to do tasks that no sane creature would want to do.
