Type | Name | How to obtain |
---|---|---|
Scythe | Death's Scythe | Steal the Scythe from Death. |
Leech | Plated Leech | Cast Holy on a Leech. |
Rogue Face | Immortal's Face | Get decapitated when in Rogue form after you have ascended, and create a face from your head. This is possible if you survive death via the Undead effect. |
Husband Face | The Minion's Face | Get your minion decapitated when in Husband form and not yet Identified, and create a face from his head. |
Skeleton Face | Clone's Face | Get a minion clone from a miracle decapitated, and create a face from his head. |
It is also possible to create items with mismatched name and type.
- An identified weapon or armor retains its original name when polymorphed.
- Red, the minion, Clones, and normal monsters that have been manually Identified retain their original names when polymorphed, so when they are decapitated, a head with the original name and whatever race they currently are will be created.
