The act of wearing your freshly killed opponent's head on your own. Obviously reserved for the [[Ax Crazy]] types, but a few [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Heroic Sociopath]] [[Villain Protagonist|VillainProtagonists]]s pull it off. Two variants: Wearing the skull as a helmet, or just the skin, as a cowl/mask.
 
There are two variants:
* Wearing the skull as a helmet
* Just the skin, as a cowl/mask.
 
Of course, the more acceptable version uses an animal's head as a hat. Very popular among shamans.
