What's Wrong With This Picture?

Actually, I'm pretty sure D&D ganked Beholders from something else (in its nascency in the 70s); I vaguely remember some minor "scandal" about that when I was growing up (like they had taken the name and description from some very unheard of fantasy book). It's rather their trademark now, though, isn't it?

Someone is hiding a conspiracy!
Next there will be a screenplay "Ascalon Realms" written by Margaret Weiss. Then the guild names will REALLY become cheese

Nice, SOT.. I thought I'd seen the same earlier today but I didnt pay much attention to it. I'll try to find where it was and get a picture of it while its alive.. It may be a bit less than a blatant copyright issue, I'd say its more of a hat nod towards WOTC.. 
After all, they'd probably have more of a court case claiming that they own any and all systems using only 20 levels than a eerie resemblance of a creature that virtually every game and system EVER has made. Seriously, I've seen thousands of take off's of a beholder
On a side note.. if you really want a picture to figure what's wrong with.. Here. ^.^

Note on the ebay: Not the price either. Examine the main picture more closely.

The suspense is killing me!
