Improbable Voice - an opportunity for the narrator to use his best impressions (e.g. a feral broo speaks like Marilyn Monroe, a Thanatar Priest speaks like a pirate. A-harrgh!)
Overwhelming Delusion - the creature firmly believes, despite all evidence to the contrary, that it is something it is not. e.g. a scorpionman believes it is a Storm Bull khan, a cave troll believes it is Queen of Tarsh.
Merely a Puppet - we may speak of being merely a puppet in thrall to higher powers. In this case it's true. On close examination, the creature proves to be made of wood, wire and paint. Fine strings control its movement but seem to fade into nothingness a few feet above the body.
