Brainsuckers

"Hey, I am a consensual sucker!"

— Alex

Brainsuckers are the human-based main population aboard the Thalamus used for most tasks. They have minor magical abilities that aren't suited to fight stronger enemies and thus are cannon fodder.

Appearance
All Brainsuckers share similar physical traits. They are mostly tall and slender with abnormally long arms. Their fingers have formed into claws used for attack. Furthermore their skin is covered in a gel-like substance. Most have lost their eyes during mutation. This is paired with a facial deformity causing several tendrils to spout from their mouth, the length and number of which can be used to differentiate between individuals. When sucking a larger white tendril erupts from their mouth.

History
The Brainsuckers have been changed with Insight by way of the Thalamus. They were former Humans kidnapped by Amygdala and forced to live aboard the Thalamus. Most Brainsuckers still go by their human names and try to keep a resemblance to human society on board the ship. A undetermined number of Brainsuckers live on the Thalamus. They are usually used for heavy lifting and as cannon fodder.

Prion
Brainsuckers have been ever-present in Prion. Starting with Peter, who helped the newest hunters get accustomed to life as a Hunter. Peter later ended up sucking the brain of K1 before dying. He was replaced by Alex. He was a highly educated Brainsucker managing the engine room of the Thalamus. He was a rather kindhearted individual that tried to help the would-be Hunters where possible. He was outsmarted by the players when they infiltrated Thalamus as he was distracted with Amygdala. He met his demise when he entered the dungeon and was killed by Hive. Lastly there is Rupert, the dimwitted shuttle driver flying the Hunters to and from Cubeworld.
