'''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 [[Brain Tree Quest|quest]] for him.  
'''The Brain Tree''' is a powerful, sentient tree and one of the oldest residents of the [[Haunted Woods]]. He is highly intelligent and has a strong thirst for knowledge. Because he can't travel Neopia himself, he will often send [[Neopet]]s on [[quest]]s to gather knowledge for him.  


According to a [[Neopedia]] article, the Brain Tree guards the entrance to a secret clearing deep in the Woods that harbours a deadly monster.
According to the [[Neopedia]], the Brain Tree guards the entrance to a secret clearing deep within the woods where a deadly monster is imprisoned.  This monster has attacked the Brain Tree many times while trying to escape, and the Brain Tree bears many scars from these encounters.

{{main|Brain Tree Quest}}


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]].
