Cerebral parasite

Cerebral parasites were a type of flea-sized creature that fed on psionic activity.
==Description==
These creatures were not visible to most creatures and could only be detected by psionically examining an individual's personal aura.
==Behavior==
Cerebral parasites were attracted towards and would attack any creature that got within of them that possessed some form of psionics.
==Biology==
Whenever an individual they were infesting used their psionic abilities, whether offensive or defense, a cerebral parasite would drain some of their energy. Once this occurred six times a cerebral parasite would reproduce another of their kind.
==Ability==
These creatures could not be attacked by psionic means. Once infested with them, an individual could only be rid of cerebral parasites by means of the spell cure disease.
==Ecology==
===Diet===
Cerebral parasites fed solely upon psionic energy.
===Habitats===
They could be found almost anywhere, even on the Ethereal and Astral planes. They were considered to be commonly encountered creatures within those two planes.
===Relationships===
Cerebral parasites sometimes served the duergar deities Deep Duerra and Laduguer.
