The Brain is the final boss of the co-op ScareScraper mode in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. He is an unusually large Poltergeist who is fought atop the tower's roof.
His attack pattern is very similar to Poltergeist variants, throwing objects at Luigi with the power of his mind, except that his health is much higher than that of other Poltergeist variants and his moveset includes another attack, which has him charge up a force field that will knock away any Luigis that are vacuuming him (though this can be avoided by jumping when the force field is released).
Unlike the other bosses in the ScareScraper, which are randomly chosen when the boss' floor is reached, The Brain is always fought when the roof is reached, and he has no texture-swapped variants like the other bosses.
During his fight, the Brain is accompanied by Slammers and normal or armed and shielded variations of Greenies or Strong Greenies. On the Expert difficulty, Slammers are replaced with Strong Slammers.
When Luigi and his allies defeat the Brain, fireworks shoot up in the sky behind the tower and the Poltergust of the Luigi who defeated him releases a large amount of coins, bills, and Gold Bars.
The Brain also appears in Luigi's Mansion Arcade, where he is the boss of Gloomy Manor. The Brain begins the battle with a shield, meaning he cannot be sucked up. The player can make the shield break by either sucking up the projectiles The Brain throws at Luigi or by clearing the ghosts he summons. If either of these methods are performed, The Brain can be sucked up for a bit before breaking free and repeating the attack process. Eventually, he turns invisible and can only be sucked up if the Dark-Light Device is used to reveal him. His hit points have been reduced to 120 for this fight.
