"The Grog was psychic or something similar. It could control minds, even minds as insignificant as a sand rat's.
That was the purpose of the Grog's large brain. Its intelligence was a side effect of its power. For aeons the Grogs had called their food to them. They did not hunt after childhood. Once the brain had developed, they never needed to move again.
They didn't need eyes; they had little need of other sensory preceptions. They used the senses of other animals."
The Handicapped, Neutron Star, Larry Niven
Grogs are an alien life form found on the planet "Down" in the Known Space System.
