My favourites of his are probably the ravens from Children of Memory, who aren't called Thought and Memory, but could be.

Love this!

In the birds' case, one bird in a pair has something like the executive function, while the other has the power of noticing. They can only function by working together. In the case of the cetaceans, the brain/head does the emotions and executive stuff. The tentacles have mechanical intelligence and follow through on the wishes of the being at their centre.

That's so interesting!
