Sadly I have no pictures to share. Although I love Mind Flayers! They are so awesome, I might feel differently had the only one I've ever had violent contact with not been killed by a Nat 20 Greataxe 1d12+7.
My buddy rolled and got max damage so 57 damage to knock it out in one hit.
Although we have an NPC Mind Flayer in our pathfinder campaign but he is one of a kind in that world. Also he has minor reality warping abilities.
So yes, mini-thulu's I salute you!
Fun Fact: A Ultrathid with the Half Green Dragon template would look just like Cthulhu.

First D&D campaign I ever ran featured a Mind Flayer as the climactic conflict of the first adventure bundle. Nearly wiped out the party. Stunned 3/4 of them in the first round and ate the barbarian's brain. The wizard ended the fight when he managed to recover himself and Ring of the Rammed the mind flayer off of the royal balcony into the town square.

D&D next concept art.

All hail the Mind Flayers, may they consume only the tastiest of brains.
Also, what's their fluff these days? They can't still be misunderstood mutants from a destroyed world can they?

There are a few of them that are cannon at any given time.
Last one I read, in the distant distant distant future they control the whole of the universe. Then the end of time starts to destroy the universe and they use their technological abilities to send a whole bunch of Mind Flayer back to the beginning of time, then those groups will eventually take over the universe again in some kind of weird predestination parodox.
My personal favorite interpretation make them creations of Thun, who for all intents and purposes is a Dark Lovecraftian God that normally people cannot possibly understand without going mad. The Mind Flayers are like his hearlds. Ia Ia Cthulhu Ftghan.

I freaking love those.
Especially Francis, best minion EVER.
On a side note have you seen the PHB PSA's? They only mention Mind Flayers in passing but it they are rather funny. Let's play, Get Redgar a hummer and a burrito.
