'''Mounts''' are creatures (or in the Minecart's case, an object) used to improve a character's mobility. They are technically a group of [[buff]]s provided by their respective items which, upon use, instantly gives the buff and summons the character atop the mount. Like [[pet]]s, mounts cannot be spent. They are item-wise a group of [[tool]]s.

The [[Brain of Cthulhu]] is the [[Boss]] of the [[Crimson]] biome, appearing every time a player shatters three [[Demon Heart]]s or uses a [[Bloody Spine]]. It replaces the [[Eater of Worlds]], and can only be summoned in the [[Crimson]] biome.
 
  +
As of patch 1.2.4, there are 6 mounts in Terraria.

== Behavior ==
 
  +
! width="125px" | Item
There are two distinct phases in this boss battle. In the first phase, the Brain will be invincible and teleport around the area, surrounded by eyes called [[Creeper]]s that attempt to fly at the player, dealing damage. Each Creeper has its own health bar, and will drop [[Tissue Sample]]s, [[Crimtane Ore]] and hearts. When all the Creepers are destroyed, the Brain itself is able to be damaged normally. In the second phase of the fight, the Brain will continue to teleport, but will concentrate on ramming the player, and moves faster than its first form. In both phases, touching the Brain itself will deal high damage to the player.

*Similar to the [[Eye of Cthulhu]] and [[Eater of Worlds]], building an 'arena' consisting of long stretches of [[Wood Platforms]] allows the player to maneuver around the Brain itself, and the eyes of the first stage. However, the Crimson has much more open areas underground than the Corruption's Chasms, requiring less setup.
 
 
|-
*The [[Flaming Arrow]]s are good at dispatching the eyes in the first phase, as when they are hit they will retreat back to the Brain, and the fire will eventually finish them off.

*[[Shuriken]]s are also a good way to dispose of the eyes in the first phase for new players. However, they have next to no knockback, and cannot stop the Brain's charges towards the player in the second phase.
 
  +
|-
*Gem staves, like the [[Diamond Staff]], can combo and make short work of the eyes on open spaces while saving ammo from other ranged weapons, especially if the staff has a good modifier. If the player has crafted a gem staff, it can be used as a viable weapon against the eyes, due to its piercing quality. In the second stage, it can be used to knock back the Brain enough to stop its charge attack, but may have limited use due to the lack of mana-generating eyes.

*During the second phase, it's a good idea to have a weapon with either a lot of knockback, or multiple hits with average knockback (such as a [[Spear]]). This will allow the player to keep the Brain at bay as it attempts to charge into them.

|-
*Using the [[Crimson Rod]], which has a chance to drop from one of the Demon Hearts required to spawn the Brain, can provide extra DPS, especially against the eyes. Fire it to the top-center of the arena then switch to another weapon for maximum damage.

*A [[Vilethorn]] is extremely useful against the eyes, as its tendency to stun-lock enemies prevents the eyes from retreating when the brain teleports away. However, the [[Vilethorn]] is only available from [[Shadow Orb]]s in the [[Corruption]], and therefore will need to be brought over from another world.

*If the player has had luck getting meteorite spawns, the [[Space Gun]] makes short work of its first stage, as any given shot is likely to hit multiple eyes. [[Meteor Armor]] is then a good option as it ensures mana is not an issue.

== Trivia ==
 
* The Brain of Cthulhu, along with the [[Eye of Cthulhu]], is based on the character Cthulhu from the works of the author H.P. Lovecraft.
 
* The Brain of Cthulhu strongly resembles the boss Phantoon from the game Super Metroid, both in appearance and behavior.
 
* The Brain of Cthulhu's second form appears to have a heart inside of it, as well as an eye in the heart.
 
* The Brain of Cthulhu is the only boss susceptible to knockback, probably because of the difficulty in dealing with it if it wasn't.
 
* Unlike the [[Eater of Worlds]], the Brain of Cthulhu doesn't run away if you leave the Crimson.
 
* Unlike the Eater of Worlds, the Eye of Cthulhu and [[Skeletron]], the Brain of Cthulhu does not have a [[Hardmode]] counterpart. (The others having [[The Destroyer]], [[The Twins]] and [[Skeletron Prime]] respectively.)
 
* If multiple Brains of Cthulhu are active, then they will not transform into the second form until all the creepers from both are gone.

Mounts are creatures (or in the Minecart's case, an object) used to improve a character's mobility. They are technically a group of buffs provided by their respective items which, upon use, instantly gives the buff and summons the character atop the mount. Like pets, mounts cannot be spent. They are item-wise a group of tools.

List of Mounts

As of patch 1.2.4, there are 6 mounts in Terraria.
