Intellect Devourer
A fist-sized brain scuttles on clawed legs, hollowing out minds it hunts and slipping into the dead to walk away wearing a stolen skin.
An intellect devourer is a fist-sized brain that scuttles on four clawed legs, hunting living minds to hollow out and inhabit. It would rather wear a victim's body than tear it apart, slipping into the dead and walking away in a stolen skin.
