Burn in hell, you mumbling abomination!
The Spy to the Pyro

The Triboniophorus Tyrannus, known to the community as the "Brain Slug," is a community-created headwear item for the Pyro and was chosen by Valve to be released with the first wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It appears as a green, gelatinous slug, placed off-center atop the Pyro's gas mask.

Trivia

  • This hat is similar to the brain slugs that occasionally appeared in the animated television show Futurama, where they would be attached to someone's head and control their mind, forcing them to appear semi-comatose, talk in a monotonous tone, and do anything to spread the brain slugs throughout the universe. The brain slugs in the cartoon, however, had one large eye instead of two small eyes, as well as two antennae.[1]
  • This hat also bears a striking resemblance to one found in the Steam-hosted racing game Zero Gear. Zero Gear is about as obsessed with hats as Team Fortress 2, where this hat is available as a headgear and a character.
  • The Triboniophorus is a type of green slug native to Australia. "Tyrannus" is Latin for "tyrant" or "king".
