Headless

Headless is a decapitated cat enemy found in The Crater with 7 HP and 6 Strength. It primarily spawns when a Rock Head is destroyed and the boulder separates from its skull, leaving the body to fight on. On its own it is also an independent encounter. Blind by default, it uses a CatSpin melee attack and fires a poison projectile at whatever damaged it — making melee aggression particularly hazardous.

Because Headless retaliates with a poison shot every time it takes a hit, sustained melee trading against it quickly accumulates Poison stacks. The blindness means it cannot target accurately, but the poison retaliation fires regardless of whether its own attacks connect. Its Champion form (14 HP) retaliates with both the spin and the poison shot simultaneously.

When Headless spawns from a Rock Head split, immediately push the separated boulder into it — this deals about 9 damage and kills the regular form in one move. For Champions, use a ranged push to avoid the spin retaliation sending the boulder back. If fighting Headless directly, ranged attacks that avoid the poison retaliation entirely are ideal. If forced into melee, bring Poison resistance or high enough burst to kill it in one engagement.
