Talk:Brain of Cthulhu

Ocram
Could Ocram be a Hardmode Brain of Cthulhu?
 * Officially there's no connection between the two. Any that the player draws is personal inference. Gearzein (talk) 22:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Phantoon
Look at this and tell me Brain of Cthulhu doesn't draw inspiration from Phantoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t7nF9Ao95Y 24.14.214.236
 * Sure thing. One of them is a space pirate ghost and the other is a huge meaty brain already tied explicitly to another mythos. They don't look alike, they aren't fought in the same way, and there's not even a subtle hint in the information surrounding the Brain that they're in any way related. Even if you want to contend that Phantoon's design is meant to specifically be a brain (which it's not quite pulling off), "disembodied brain" is a common enough trope to say that BoC isn't built around this specific one.
 * More importantly, "resembling" and "drawing inspiration" are two radically different things. Resemblance isn't even notable. A claim that something is drawing inspiration is, but without word from the developers it's just speculation- usually based on resemblance. As it is, there is no indication that the Brain of Cthulhu draws inspiration from Phantoon. Gearzein (talk) 20:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
