Offense
Psychic Slam
Circumstance: Melee
6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. (3d10) psychic damage.
Bonus Action
Leech
The gemmule targets one creature within 5 feet of itself and forces the target to make a 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the gemmule enters the target's space and attaches to the target. While the gemmule is attached, the target takes 7 (3d4) piercing damage at the start of each of its turns, and the gemmule can't use Leech again until it detaches. It can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. As an action, the target or a creature within 5 feet of the target can detach the gemmule by succeeding on a 15 Strength check.
Trait
Encephalon Progeny
The gemmule matures into an encephalon cluster if not killed within 30 (4d12 + 4) days of its creation.
Trait
Magic Resistance
The gemmule has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Due to the influence of the Far Realm, the eggs within an encephalon cluster no longer hatch into illithid tadpoles. Instead, when one of an encephalon cluster's eggs reaches maturity, it is ejected from the mass as an encephalon gemmule.
When spawned, a gemmule appears as a misshapen, spindly legged, pyramid-shaped nugget of soft, fleshy matter. If left to its own devices, an encephalon gemmule grows into an encephalon cluster in a matter of days, at which point it begins producing its own gemmules.
Encephalons
When an illithid colony lays its eggs dangerously close to a Far Realm rift, an egg sac has a chance to mutate into what is known as an encephalon cluster—a ravenous, slimy, psionic, brain-shaped mass that spawns horrors called encephalon gemmules.
