Useful Info
Glowing orange brains are dangerous evil casters which can summon brutal monsters, feed on your intellect, or confuse you.

Tips & Tricks
- Use a source of clarity and try to kill them as quickly as possible to avoid a summoning spree. They aren't too durable, so a few high-powered Conjurations should take them out, but melee fighters may wish to lure them around a corner to avoid a dangerous charge into melee range.
- Airstrike works well, taking advantage of their low AC and flight. Bolt spells or other attacks that let you hit them even when they're hiding behind allies are also handy.
- No matter how frightening their summoned allies are, remember that killing the summoner will eliminate all its summons. This may be a safer, faster escape route than fleeing on foot or trying to teleport away.
- Because the glowing orange brain can summon creatures, it has access to the abjuration spell.
History
- In 0.32, glowing orange brains got an aura of brilliance and became cautious.
- Prior to 0.31, giant orange brains could cast Blink.
- Prior to 0.19, this monster was known as giant orange brain.
- Prior to 0.17, giant orange brains could cast Teleport Self.
- Prior to 0.14, giant orange brains knew Confuse in place of Mass Confusion.
