Been playing baldurs gate so overlord fact time
In overlord there is an incredibly similar looking species to mind flayers. They have the tentacles, razor teeth mouth hidden by tentacles etc . They're referred to as brain eaters in overlord and of course they eat brains.
They reproduce by injecting their eggs into a host brain. The eggs hatch and devour the brain over time while secreting a solution that allows them to puppeteer the body in a zombie like fashion.
Eventually when the brain eater nematodes reaches the size of a brain it melts the skulls and emerges. From there it requires the protection of it's parents until it reaches maturity as it's only the size of a regular brain. Though they're not totally defenseless, the author notes in absence of it's parents they'll cling to high areas and drop down to pierce creatures skulls and devour the brain within.
Saying that the authors wording makes it seem like there might be some other ways to produce brain eater children what those means are..Well that's unclear.
