### Brains

The most disturbing of all the monsters in the Beneath looks altogether too much like a giant, pink brain. Monsters that resemble body parts are very, very creepy. What's even creepier is that the brain doesn't attack. At least, not directly. No, it knows all the ins and outs of the surrounding terrain like the back of its...brain...and will hijack the thought patterns of other creatures, giving them gentle suggestions on how to defend themselves when danger approaches. So when that mindless roach moves out of the trap you laid for it, navigates through a maze and heads straight for you amongst a herd of other creatures, going around your defenses one by one, you will know who is responsible. To adapt to brains, you must learn how they think. And when you do, you will learn that sometimes intellect is no match for raw instinct. Not in chess, maybe, but in other places. They do, for better or for worse, have a mouth, so presumably they eat.
