A Cerebral Animator is a psionic being who wants power over the dead like a necromancer, and has found away to do such by animating a creatures nervous systems and controlling the dead by controlling their movements rather than forcefully causing the soul to re-enter a body and be controlled. The Cerebral Animator cannot control as many dead minions as can traditional necromancers and not for as long as they can either, though he makes up for this with increased potency of his animated minions and increase in his already potent psionic powers.
