Headless

The Headless are a bizarre race of humanoid creatures who lack a head or neck. They appear in Ultima IV,  V,  VI,  VII and Ultima VII Part Two, as well as the Ultima Underworld series.

Description
It is unknown how these strange beasts first came into being, although many hypothesize that they are the product of perverse experimentation by a rogue magician. Despite their lack of sensory organs, these grotesque beings apparently have no trouble sensing their surroundings, and make surprisingly apt fighters, frequently hunting in packs. Early sightings of them also place them in the company of the enigmatic gazers and occasionally stray phantoms, although it is not known how such a strange motley of monsters came to be associates.
