The player is liable to encounter brownies while traveling between [[Maella Abbey]] and [[Ascantha]]. They are capable of psyching up to 100 in a single turn, though they usually waste this on trying to perform a desperate attack that seems to always fail. A roaming brownie that can be recruited to the player's monster team can also be found north of Peregrin Quay.
