Line 11:
Using this to dispatch [[Multiple Head Case]]s has varying results, depending on how much the heads control the body. Some are sufficiently disabled with the removal of one head, while more persistent types may require the removal of all of them - and then there's the [[Hydra Problem]]...
One way to make a beheading stick is to [[Your Head Asplode|make it explode]] and/or [[Boom! Headshot!|land a choice headshot]]. Successfully doing this can render someone [[Deader Than Dead]].

Line 71:
** The Vorpal Blade of ''Jabberwocky'' fame has a 5% chance to [[One-Hit Kill|behead the victim]] upon hitting them, [[No Sell|unless they have no head or else are intangible]] (e.g. ghosts, shades and vortices). This even includes nonliving monsters and multiheaded monsters such as ettins - of course, [[Yet Another Stupid Death|this also applies to '''you''']] if you're caught on the wrong end, which is a very likely danger in the Astral Plane. [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything/NetHack|And yes, it always works against jabberwocks]].
** The vorpal jabberwock is a [[Dummied Out|deferred monster]] in the vanilla game based on the jabberwock; variants that make use of it, such as ''[[GruntHack]]'' and ''[[UnNetHack]]'', often give the monster its ''own'' beheading attacks, though it retains the weakness to Vorpal Blade.
** While ''possibly'' not literal, [[Too Dumb To Live|brainlessness]] can result from being hit by one too many brain-eating attacks by a mind flayer, which reduces your intelligence - not only is this also an instadeath [[Stat Death|if your INT drops too low]], but even {{spoiler|[[Auto Revive|an amulet of life saving]]}} won't work properly, since [[Deader Than Dead|your brain will still be gone after.]]
