YOU SICK BASTARD ! ! ! ! !  (I applaude you LOL )
I love this nasty thing. I can envision my players running like hell.



Attacks:                      Heavy flail +6/+1 melee or whip +6/+1 ranged

==>Weapon Focus (Heavy Flail) would give +7/+2.....



Charm Person: A target must make a will save or be affected as per the
spell.  Spawn use this ability to control their

slaves and make them willing servants.  This eyestalk covers the forward
and left arcs of the Spawn.

==> The beholder can aim all stalks in all directions but just 4 at the
same arc. I would say keep this or reduce the numver of eye-stalks that
can be fired in the same arc but do not appoints arcs for the
creatures..... Let the DM decide gna gna gna...


Anti-Magic Cone (Su): Much like his beholder sire, a Spawn continually
generates an anti-magic directly in front of it.

==>Personally I would not go as far as to give the creature the antimagic
cone. I think it is too powerful for the creature and will reduce the
uniqueness of the Beholder(-kin). Unless you make this a beholder-kin and
change the creature-type to abboration (which you do not like I can
inmagine). I would perhaps boost the SR but ditch the anti-magic cone.
Just in my opinion though ;D

Spell-Like Abilities (Su): 1/day - dancing lights, darkness, faerie fire,
levitation.  These abilities have the same effects

as spells cast by a 6th level sorcerer.

==> Spell Resistance inherited from the Drow?????



In the Spheres

            These hideous creatures are the result of profane breeding
experiments conducted by the Warspider drow
nation.  The drow had captured a mutant beholder, E'ch'a'cku'll, who was
capable of mating with humanoids.  The
matriarch ordered that female drow, slaves taken from another nation, be
bred with the beholder.  Their children were
the Spawn.

            Since the breeding program began, the Warspiders have used the
Spawn as slavers.  With their magical abilities,
the Spawn are ideal to keep slaves in line and under control.  Spawn are
sent to remote worlds to gather more slaves for
the Warspiders.

==> Brilliant and absolutely disgusting! One point for the drow :D
