The Brain Tree is always hungry for knowledge. He will ask users who visit him to find out when and where a certain [[Neopet]] died: this information can be found by doing quests for other Haunted Woods residents. Originally, this meant doing a quest for [[Edna]] and the [[Esophagor]] - now the player must do two quests for the Esophagor.
The Brain Tree hosts a quest [[game]] in which he asks users when and where a certain Neopet died.  If the user brings him the requested information within a specified time limit, he will reward them with [[Neopoint]]s and an [[item]].  Since the [[Esophagor]] is the only creature in all of [[Neopia]] that knows the information that the Brain Tree desires, the user must feed the Esophagor in order to gain the knowledge that they need to appease the Brain Tree. Users can only complete one Brain Tree quest every 24 hours.
 
The player is given a time limit to return with the correct answer, and can only attempt the Brain Tree's quest [[daily|once per day]].

One day, a Green Krawk and Red Usul got themselves lost in the Haunted Woods while trying to find the Brain Tree. Just as they were about to give up and go home, they finally managed to locate the Brain Tree. They tried to give the Brain Tree some information in order to complete a quest, the unfortunately the two had caught the Brain Tree in a foul mood. Instead of rewarding the pair, the Brain threatened, grabbed, and attacked them. A passing Blue Nimmo heard the two Neopets screaming and decided to call the Defenders of Neopia for help. Judge Hog immediately dispatched the Masked Intruder to the scene. After the user defeats the Brain Tree in the Battledome, the Masked Intruder is able to return the Brain Tree to his senses and rescue the Krawk and Usul.
