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.

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

• Headless Horseman appeared in the original The Binding of Isaac.
• 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 its 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 version of Headless Horseman's horse resembles Famine's horse rather than Headless Horseman's. Mom Unlocks Bosses Chapter 1 Monstro
