Behavior

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

Head

• The head shoots 3 bullets at Isaac.
• The head charges across the screen 3 times.

Body

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

Notes

• 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.

Trivia

• 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.
