Headhunters were a type of human encountered in the world.[1]
Description[]
Headhunters were primitive humans living in isolated wild areas, mostly jungles, though some tribes had been encountered in more temperate areas such as the Old World's Shamutanti Hills. Their culture was extremely war-like, and as cannibals they were extremely hostile to other human races, particularly pygmies, who often shared the same habitats. Their collective name came from their custom to cure and boil the heads of their slain enemies until they had been shrunk to an extremely small size, which then served as their personal war trophies.
Headhunters lived in tribal communities, each ruled by a chieftain and/or a shaman. They adorned their faces with fierce war paint when on the hunt, and used stone-headed spears, stone clubs, and knives made out of stone or bone as weapons. Some, like the Shamutanti Hill tribes, used blowpipes and poisoned darts to bring down troublesome prey, much in the fashion of their arch-enemies, the pygmies.
Special Abilities[]
As humans, Headhunters usually had no innate special abilities, though their shamans may wield their own variations of magic spells. Shamans in particular often used mask magic.[2]
Headhunter warriors were particularly superstitious and might flee any flashy display of magic unless halted by their leaders.
