Popis
Brain golems are the largest variant of intellect devourers. These titans can stand up to nearly 12 feet tall and resemble writhing masses of gray matter and brain tissue. These golems can be crafted in a variety of ways. The most common method is through the collection and fusion of numerous brains or acquiring the brain of a large enough creature. Others are directly spawned by the elder brain itself as a self-defense mechanism or to aid the illithid colony in a rather daunting task. Due to their incredible psionic power, brain golems are able to serve as a minor telepathic hub which can prove to be quite useful for illithids far away from the elder brain itself.
