The Headless Horseman is a Boss that has a chance of replacing any other Horsemen Isaac could meet.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

The Headless Horseman consists of two entities: The head and the body. The 2 will keep attacking Isaac independently as soon as combat starts.

The body continuously lobs explosive shots at Isaac.
- Shots leave behind a damaging puddle of Red creep.
- This behavior is similar to Pestilence's 2nd stage, except without his fly spawning ability.

In several normal rooms, the Headless Horseman's head appears on its own without its body.
- Two or three of the Headless Horseman's heads can be found in the same normal rooms.

The Headless Horseman has been a common motif in Europe since the middle ages.
The boss art shows the head with both eyes even though the in-game sprite only has one.
The boss art shows the horse's head as brown even though its in-game sprite is black.
The Delirium form's horse appears more similar to Famine's horse than The Headless Horseman's.
