In BGII:EE death tyrants are using the standard beholder animation (0x7F02) even though a dedicated death tyrant animation (0x7F46) exists.
Also note that while the size of the beholder and death tyrant animations is the same, the death tyrant's INI file has a smaller circle (ellipse) and personal space than the beholder INI, which I believe needs correcting:
Beholder:
Death tyrant:
...and while we're at it, this is how the INI [sounds] section should look like in order for both the beholder's and death tyrant's attack sounds to match their animations frame by frame:
(But you won't need to change the sound part manually if you take @skellytz up on his offer to donate his fixes from Infinity Sounds to Beamdog.)
