Brain Flower

An affliction and carriers of the flower that appear in ''Fear & Hunger. ''

Lore
"'Just like how the black changes the humans, it also affects the plants. On this soil, that has seen countless death, that curious flower once started blooming. It requires fertile ground to grow to its full bloom and there is no better source of life than humans.' - The New Gods, when asked about the Brain Flower."A curious plant, found in the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger. The black and the darkness found within the dungeons themselves affect all manners of life, including plantlife. They bloomed from the dead and the corpses of many that have met their end in the darkest depths of the dungeon. They have also been seen to have latched onto others, acting as a parasite. Once latched onto its host, it will spread its tendrils into the brains of the host, controlling it and making the host do its bidding. The host will then try to spread its affliction onto others, further spreading the flower to every part of the dungeon and possibly the world outside. They do this until the host dies and becomes a seedbed for many of the brain flowers to come.

Location
Can be found on foes in the Level 7 catacombs, in the Thicket, and some say they have spotted a Lord of the Flies having been afflicted by the brain flower too, so they are also found in areas of present day and derelict Ma'habre.

Affliction
When in combat with these foes, they fight seemingly the same as their original counterparts, but they have the ability to spread the infection onto yourself and your party. If having this affliction, your actions are not your own, making you automatically do actions without your own choosing. Your party-members, even summoned creatures like skeletons or blood golem may even attack you.

To get rid of this affliction, simply drink worm juice if you have one in your inventory. Worm juice can be found by searching bottles and areas of interest carrying items and goods. Just pray to the RNG gods that you can get one.
