SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There's a brain in a jar monster in the old 3.5E book Libris Mortis.

Pathfinder has the alchemical golem, which is a golem animated with a brain in a jar.

Thanks!

Don't have "Libris Mortis" will see if I can get it.

In the main PF book?
Alchemical golem is in Bestiary 2.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Disembodied brains/heads, either floating, slithering or on a jar, as seen on films such as:

The Brain From The Planet Arous (1957)
Fiend Without A Face (1958) 
The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958)
They Saved Hitler's Brain (1968)

I think they make for perfect Pulp monsters.

Has anyone tried using them as monsters in their games?

What system do you want to stat them for?

OSR Doesn't matter the game in particular.
