Headless Hounds

For their Fear & Hunger counterparts, see Hounds.

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

Location & behaviour
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.

Lore
They 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.

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 or dried meat via the Talk 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.

The Headless Hounds have a special interaction with O'saa if you use talk and then use “man, that dog is funny!”
