Alien Clinger

The Alien Clinger, also known as Pluuvian Brain-Beast, is an Alien Conquest creature introduced in 2011. It is something of a mascot for the theme, and appear in three sets in total. LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed features one specific Alien Clinger named Gorwell.
==Description==
The Alien Clinger is a small, hollow, lime green creature with a hole in its bottom slightly larger than a minifigure's head, so it can be placed onto one. Its mouth is represented by another hole, this time on the front of the body, through which minifigures can see through. It has one eyestalk, on which it has a single printed eye. The six tentacles on its lower half can be used to hold it steady when placed on a flat surface, giving it a skittering appearance.
==Background==
Pluuvian Brain-Beasts, colloquially known to humans as "Alien Clingers", are used by the alien invaders of Earth as special forces to control Earthlings' minds.
Hypaxxus-8 has a pet male Alien Clinger that is named Captain Ploovie. Another male Alien Clinger named Gorwell has attached himself to the ADU Soldier in a plot to spread his mind-controlling influence from Krysto.
The Galaxy Patrol from Series 7 can purportedly withstand the mind-control powers of Gorwell.
===The LEGO Movie===
In The LEGO Movie, an Alien Clinger is seen in Vitruvius' room in The Old West when he, Emmet, and Wyldstyle escape from the Super Secret Police.
