Special Abilities: Headhunter – anyone bitten by a Headhunter Worm must make a successful Saving Throw vs. Death or lose 1 point of Intelligence. Furthermore, a character thus bitten loses one of its senses; roll a d4 to determine which sense is lost: 1—smell, 2—sight,

3—hearing, or 4—taste. This sense can only be regained if the Headhunter Worm is slain. Additionally, once a character has been bitten the Headhunter Worm sprouts a face on its body that looks exactly like that character's visage.
