-Brain Tree, Brain Tree Quests

The Brain Tree sits alone in the Haunted Woods. He is the only tree to have developed intelligence, and he thirsts for knowledge. He will ask visitors to complete a quest for him.

Other than giving out quests, the Brain Tree has also appeared in wide variety of site events, often giving information to use as to how they'll solve puzzles or riddles. He's often compared to The Money Tree, as they're both anthropomorphic Trees with faces.

The player is given a time limit to return with the correct answer, and can only attempt the Brain Tree's quest once per day.
