The Headless Horseman is a Harbinger that can appear in all environments of Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4; replacing any other Horsemen.
The head has 100 HP. The body's HP scales depending on what Chapter it is encountered, ranging from 60-300 HP.
Behavior[ | ]
The Headless Horseman consists of two entities: The head and the body. Each performs attacks independently of the other.
The head has the following attacks:
- Shoots 3 projectiles in a spread at Isaac.
- Charges either left or right off-screen and reappears on the opposite end of the screen. He can charge either one, two or three times.
- He performs this attack more often if Isaac is to his left or right.
- This attack deals a full heart of damage.
The body has the following attack:
- Periodically shoots red Ipecac-like shots at Isaac, leaving a large puddle of damaging Red Creep on impact.
- This behavior is similar to Pestilence's second phase.
Both the head and the body deal a whole heart of contact damage.
