Don't need to make your own version. SE's iteration is in itself a renaming of a Dungeons and Dragons monster, the Illithid, or Mindflayer.
In apperence they are similar but lore wise FFXI soulflayers and D&D Illithid/mindflayers are very different.
If you have mages that gain their power by absorbing the souls of monsters, then turn into octopus headed creatures with powerful magic when their bodies can't handle the strain anymore and are called soulflayers... then it be an issue if it is surrounded by other things taken from the game lore. As long as the world setting and what not are different though it shouldn't be an issue, maybe switch up the apperence and name some as well ie a more human like apperence but still with tenticle mouth and hands.
All I need is the tentacle arm. Everything else I can work with.
A tentacle arm and I can do the rest. Hm.
People are generally horrified by a few things. They're particularly sensitive to the face / eyes, so what to do to that...
I could 'Go Chimera' instead of 'Go Flayer'.
I want his jaw to unhinge. Do any animals do that that can be humanoid'd?
