1. Ulitharids drain 5-6 points of INT per succesful attack and they are tougher than Mind Flayers. Mind Flayers drain "only" 3-4 points of INT per succesful attack.
2. Fighting strategies:
a) Skeleton Warriors mentioned above.
b) Greenstone Amulets pickpocketed from Mordekainen's Swords prevent the Mind Flayers and accompanying Umber Hulks from stunning and dominating you. Chaotic Commands makes you safe from dominating but not from stunning. Note: The Greenstone Amulet and Chaotic Command spell do not prevent the Mind Flayers from INT-draining you.
c) Send Mordekainen's Swords in. Very efficient!
