description: The grotesque brain collectors (or neh-thalggus, as they call themselves)
  originate from worlds far beyond the known solar system, and are part of a conglomeration
  of hostile aliens known collectively as the Dominion of the Black. Whether driven
  by their own schemes or directives from sinister overlords, brain collectors arrive
  in living starships to harvest the brains of intelligent creatures. These aberrations
  draw no nutrition from brains, instead storing them for analysis and as vessels
  for occult magical energies.
