Fresh from the drawing table... Brain Mole!

I have for you another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a Brain Mole! Wrapping up the last of the "B" monsters this week brings us finally to a rather diminutive monster that likes to give wizards a bad day. I present to you my version of a Brain Mole…

There were some really messed up monsters in First Edition D&D. I am not talking about horrid abomination from the outer realms or massive unstoppable beasts. I am looking at you creepy mole thing that eats mental energy. That is just there for the Dungeon Master to mess with the players... not that I have a problem with that, it is just weird and cruel. Oh, I am sorry wizard... but your spell and mind and getting nibbled on by that mole over there on the ground. I bet a wizard created these things to mess with other wizards. I thought about making these things big and super gross, but I decided to keep them small and moderately gross. Brain NOMS!
