The Beholder
The "The Beholder" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
The Beholder

We successfully recreated the conditions of the first Murmuring, and initiated a second communion with the Monolith. This time we have been able to sustain the phenomenon and have established contact with an entity who is using the Monolith as a conduit to reach out from another location. The entity has identified itself as The Beholder. It claims to exist within the Shroud, and uses the Monolith to reach out from a different plane of existence. It feeds on energy, and has agreed to offer us assistance in exchange for a feast.
The command below will trigger the "The Beholder" event in Stellaris:
