It is believed that Brain Bugs coordinate Bug attacks; they also gather intelligence from human enemy combatants by inserting a mandible probe into their squishy brain. These creatures are slow and ponderous, so they are often carried from place to place by Chariot Bugs. Reviews: Roger Ebert 1,000 Misspent Hours
