Spells (Su): Brain collectors are able to cast one spell of 0-3rd level for each brain that they have absorbed. When the brain collector is first encountered roll 1d12 to determine how many brains it has absorbed and then roll 1d4-1 for each brain to determine the spell level. The spells are drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list and the caster level is the brain collector's hit dice.


Brain collectors are a race of interdimensional travelers that occasionally cross the barriers between their universe and ours. They do not act or think like any know creature but while on the Material Plane they seem driven to collect the brains of sentient creatures. When they slay a sentient being they cut away the top of the skull with surgical tools and swallow the brain which is then shunted into a pocket within the brain collector's body. This brain is then visible as a lump on the brain collector's body. The brain collector can absorb up to twelve brains at one time in this manner.
