The Awakened Brain Fungus was the creation of a wizard.
It is a tiny gooey ball of sentient and intelligent fungus which can infest and take over either a living creature's brain, or a creature who recently died anytime in the last 10 days.
Once the brain of a living creature has been infested, after 1 round, the creature dies and the Awakened Brain Fungus gains full control of the mind and body as if the creature's body was still alive except for a few changes.
