Headless

As their name implies, headless are creatures which are in appearance very close to humans, but they lack the head and neck. They are inherently magical creatures, said to have created through the experiments of an unnamed mage. Despite their lack of sensory organs, headless have no trouble sensing their surroundings and are apt fighters. They also seem to avoid using any kind of tools, appearing completely naked and attacking with nothing more than their bare hands.

Headless often travels in groups, both on the surface and underground. On rare occasions, they have been seen fighting under the direction of gazers or phantoms.

First appearing in Ultima IV, they were typically armed with a club. In both installments of Ultima Underworld, they were encountered singly, and were much stronger and more difficult to slay than when encountered in Ultima IV.
