Headless Hounds

The Headless are enemies encountered in Fear & Hunger: Termina

Lore
Hounds found wandering the area of the Maiden Forest, but without a head.

How they have managed to function without a head might be due to Rher's moonlight. The moonlight in question is also most likely the reason why they are like this. It might be the reason why it has a form of a rudimentary respiratory system, considering it can breathe but struggles to do so. Since it can still move, the moonlight might have given it a rudimentary brain as well, mostly only in the function of its body.

There are two of them found patrolling the Maiden Forest area. Be prepared for a fight with it.

Location
Found patrolling near the truck in the Maiden Forest, west of the Prehevil Old Town Outskirts. Upon seeing the player character, they will immediately give chase.

Strategy
A fight with these creatures are nearly unavoidable since they can outrun the player.

One can feed them rotten meat via talk to them, to distract them for a turn or two.

While it's toothless bite attacks have negligible damage at best, it's main form of attack is its black vomit, which always hits and can quickly corrode away at the player's HP, around 30 each time a round passes by. It also adds a poison effect on the player.

Drops
Drops nothing on death, making the fight all the more dangerous and unnecessary, if one can avoid them.

Trivia

 * The headless hounds are very similar to Fear & Hunger's hounds
