A brain mole commonly attacks its victim
in forests or underground: in either case, the creature is
usually out of its direct line of sight. The mole waits for
a psionically endowed being to appear above it, or it will
burrow in search of prey.
Brain moles have an innate psionic sense and can
automatically detect any psionic activity within 200 yards.
However, they can only feed on psionic energy when
their victim is nearby: within 30 yards if the victim is a
psionicist or psionic creature, 30 feet if the victim is a
wild talent, The mole can’t get a fix on its prey until the
victim actually uses a psionic power.
Once a brain mole locates a victim it will attempt to
establish contact. If contact is made, it will attempt to
feed. If the victim is a wild talent, feeding is accomplished
by using mindwipe. If the victim is a psionicist (or psionic
creature), feeding is accomplished through amplification.
A brain mole does not attack maliciously. It must feed
at least once a week or it will die. A brain mole can
perform mindwipe up to a range of 30 feet.
Strangely enough, a brain mole must establish
contact before using psychic drain. Furthermore, it can
only perform psychic drain upon psionicists or psionic
creatures. However, it does not have to put them into a
trance or a deep sleep first, it just starts siphoning away
psionic energy.

These small, furry animals are nearly blind, and look
like normal moles. Brain moles are seldom seen, however.
They live in underground tunnels, burrowing through rock
as easily as through dirt. Usually, the only discernible
evidence of a brain mole’s presence is a network of
blistered stone or mounded dirt above ground, which
marks the tunnel complex. These creatures damage more
than landscapes, however. Brain moles feed on psionic
activity. From the protection of their tunnels, they will
psionically burrow into a victim’s brain, and drain his
psionic energy
