Let’s say Locate Creature is used by the party to try to find a mind flayer.
The caster has seen one before and begins following the direction the spell directs toward a mind flayer within 1,00 feet.
Then it begins moving away from the caster as other mind flayers move into range, some closer than the original. Does the spell continue tracking first the individual mind flayer, even though a specific mind flayer wasn’t described or does the spell pick up a new closer mind flayer? If the first ones moves out of range, does the spell pick up another illithid that is in range?

“Describe/name a creature familiar to you. You sense direction to the creature's location, as long as that creature is within 1,000’ of you. If the creature is moving, you know the direction of its movement.
The spell can locate a specific creature known to you, or the nearest creature of a specific kind, so long as you have seen such a creature up close - within 30’ - at least once.”
