No, they're a hive mind manipulating the actions of so-called "higher species" through the use of complex pheromones, ultra-high frequency sound and a telepathic control that itself originates from any one of the underground nerve clusters (composed from the self-sacrificed bodies of many slurg drones) that are structurally analogous to the brains of lower life-forms such as we. Of course, the hive mind itself is far more majestic than any encephalised portion of a single nervous system.
