Mind Flayers were a species that existed in one universe.
Powers and abilities[]
Mind Flayers possessed the ability to read minds to some degree. They were also able to hypnotize and entrance people.
One Mind Flayer, Cardinal Dracula, possessed a larger set of powers; however, he may have also been a vampire. It is therefore impossible to determine whether all Mind Flayers are capable of the cardinal's powers, or if some of those powers can be attributed to his vampirism.
