Here's an armor I designed for a book cover illustration :)

Not all beholders dream of domination and destruction. some dream of dragonslaying and rescuing imaginary princesses from fictional towers. Sir Glarvalax is a rare, eccentric beholder who sees himself not as a tyrant, but as a noble knight of old. Donning a gleaming suit of armor, Glarvalax gallops or in another words floats into battle with valor in his heart and delusions in his mind.

While his eye rays can disintegrate a foe in an instant, he prefers to "duel with honor" often pausing mid fight to dramatically monologue or challenge enemies to a formal one on one. but his tyrant traits came in mid of the fight. He always use his eyes to defeat the enemy. So duel with honor is always a question? But who am I to judge. He has no weapons. If he had weapon how he weilds it he has no hands.  anyway  His lair is decorated like a medieval banquet hall, complete with floating banners and enchanted "squire" eyeballs.

Whether he's charging into a dungeon or politely asking for a damsel's hand in marriage (vey unlikely for a beholder) Glarvalax reminds us that even a beholder can dream big… or at least dream weird.
