It is unfortunately common for people to take images and repost them, claiming to relase them under a permissive license, when they have no right to do so. In such a case, any reuser relying on such a license commits infringement. | |

As David said--stick to common monsters, I believe Mind Flayer was created by D&D, but not "Greater Devil", "Blue Dragon" or "Elf". Stay away from the MM text too--don't base your attacks, stats or description on the text from the MM. Note that the original MM stole 2 chapters from other sources, was sued and had to remove them. It works both ways! | |
