=== ''Dungeons & Dragons'' 3.5 edition (2003–2007) ===
The mind flayer appears in the revised ''[[Monster Manual]]'' for this edition (2003), in both playable and non-playable forms. One of the differences between the playable Mind Flayer in the ''Monster Manual'' and the Mind Flayer racial class in ''Savage Species'' is that the racial class has only itself as a favored class, while the normal Mind Flayer has wizard as a favored class. The mind flayer received its own chapter in the book ''[[Lords of Madness|Lords of Madness: The Book of Aberrations]]'' (2005).<ref name="LoM">[[Richard Baker (game designer)|Baker, Rich]], [[James Jacobs (game designer)|James Jacobs]], and [[Steve Winter]].

The ''[[Expanded Psionics Handbook]]'' (2004) re-introduced the psionic mind flayer, detailing the differences between psionic and normal mind flayers, although creating a Psionic Mind Flayer still requires the information from the ''Monster Manual''.<ref>[[Bruce Cordell|Cordell, Bruce R.]] ''[[Expanded Psionics Handbook]]'' (Wizards of the Coast, 2004)</ref>
