Headless Hounds

The Headless are enemies encountered in Fear & Hunger: Termina.

Lore
The Headless hounds are very similar to Hounds found in Fear & Hunger, except for their missing heads. It is possible that these were normal hounds who became moonscorched. They are found near the Woodsman's hut, indicating that they were possibly his hounds.

How they have managed to function without a head might be due to Rher's moonlight. It might be the reason why it has a form of a rudimentary respiratory system, considering it can breathe but struggles to do so and attacks by vomiting.

Location
Two are 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, at a much faster speed than the player's.

Strategy
While its toothless bite attacks have negligible damage at best, its main form of attack - black vomit - melts away around 30 hp and causes a poison effect on the player.

One can feed the hound rotten meat via the talking option. The hound will become fixated on the meat and won't attack for two turns.

They drop nothing on death and have no head to cut off, so it is advised to avoid the encounter entirely.
