A head is dropped when an animal, citizen or avatar dies. It can be used as a form of trophy or proof of kill. Most notable use is hanging the heads of your conquered enemies on the walls of your mighty warship.

All heads are automatically inscribed with the name and ID of the owner when they are dropped. This can be used as proof of the origin since inscriptions cannot be changed.

Heads are edible by omnivores, carnivores and scavengers.

For placing a head on display, please refer to the Static Item page.

Update 2014-07-24: Skulls I want proof of death of an avatar if I send out a bounty hunter. All creatures now drop a skull when they die, including highborn avatars. Skulls are automatically inscribed with the name and id of the original owner. The inscription cannot be changed. Skulls are not food to anybody, including scavengers. Sorry to you scrapple lovers out there. The skull model is created using its DNA, so it looks like the original owner. DNA of skulls can be sampled and the specie can be named, like other DNA bearing items. Two headed creatures only drop one skull. Update 2015-08-13: Head vs Skull Skulls should be called "heads". Done. Update 2015-08-13: Edible Heads Heads should be edible. Scavengers, omnivores, and carnivores can now eat heads. As food they also decay much more quickly in the environment, on par with other meat and bones lying about. Update 2015-08-13: Head Decay Heads should decay into a bone like a carcass does. Done. The bone appears a bit more femurish than skullish, but it's a bone.
