I was looking at the original entries for Githyanki and Githzerai in the 1st ed fiend folio the other day, when I noticed the following line in the githzerai entry
The githzerai and the mind flayers hold to an uneasy truce, but this is constantly being broken in isolated skirmishes.
Now, I know the idea of even a partial truce between the 'zerai and the flayers contradicts later canon, but it puts a seed of a question in my mind ...
Who are the better, more dedicated, more skilled, etc. illithid hunters, the Githyanki or the Githzerai?
Or, would you consider them equal banes to the illithid?\
Opinions, please ...
I'd say, in general, they're about even. Although the githzerai tend to have much less presence on the prime, so they're less likely to run into illithids by accident. They make up for it by going intentionally hunting more often.
