NPC - Izel, Ixtli, Ohtli, and Meztli - Great Libray of Greyhawk
Brought back from the Tamoachan Expedition these Beholders are ancient beings frozen in time and reanimated through the auspices of the Grey College.
Their language is ancient Olman but they have learned much of the Common Tongue and spend a great deal of their time reading.
Perhaps their most remarkable attribute is that they are naturally invisibile.
Ixtli, Ohtli and Meztli are triplets while Izel is much, much older and tends to boss the other three around. It is Izel who is the most dangerous and close to breaking the enchantments that bind them to the servitude of the Chief Librarian and the Grey College

Inspired by a 2004 CF post I was unsurprised to see such a short list of named Beholders in published Greyhawk material. I always used Beholders exceedingly sparingly in my campaign and in my indexing never recalled seeing many used although there are more unnamed Beholders than are listed here.
While Beholders are present in the Flanaess they are rarely encountered. Unnatural creations of wizards or summonings from some distant and bizarre plane. They are no unknown to the wise or to well travelled and experienced adventurers, at least those that survive such encounters.
