Trivia

• In the game's files, the Dank Death's Head has a death animation that is impossible to see because it needs to be killed to clear a room.
• The Death's Head is based on the Bubble from The Legend of Zelda on the NES, as they are both skulls that are usually invulnerable which maneuver by bouncing off of walls.
• In a closet room in The Womb, there is a room with 1 Red Poop, 4 Blood Donation Machines, and 4 Flesh Death's Heads. When entering the room, they appear to die quickly since no other enemies in the room exist there.
