Death's Head
type 212 · variant 4
Intro
Death's Heads are invulnerable, flying enemies that move diagonally around the room and deal contact damage. They will bounce off of Isaac, walls, and each other, generally causing chaos in a room. They immediately die when the room is cleared. They can be killed if hit with the Chaos Card, Little Horn, or Euthanasia.

Trivia
- Death's Head, Flesh Death's Head, Stonies, Cross Stonies, and Eggies are the only non-boss enemies with a death animation.
- 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.
- The Dusty Death's Head is based on the Medusa Head, as both fly in a wave-like pattern that is intended to be difficult to dodge.
- In a closet room in 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.
- If a Death's Head is permanently charmed by charming a Void in Chapter 3, it cannot interact with enemies or enemy tears and will simply fly around the room.
- Prior to Booster Pack #5, if Death Heads were in the process of dying, they could still damage Isaac.
- In Antibirth, Cursed Death's Heads were called Smokys. They could also spawn in the Chest.
- Cursed Death's Heads resemble The Heretic.
- Redskulls have a stray pixel on the top-right of their sprite which does appear in-game, and is animated similar to their fire. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
