Dycepskian elder brains are a massive fungi with psychic abilities, created from the collective power of dycepskian hosts that congregate in large numbers. Unlike normal dycepskians, elder brains are intelligent without the need of a host, and seek to create more dycepskians by using their victims as a vector; those who get infected by elder spores eventually transform into elder brains if not treated.1 A dycepskian elder brain's psychic energies warp the 5-mile radius around itself, preventing other creatures from leaving without magic before the elder brain is killed, and can induce hallucinations in living or undead creatures that come near it.2
