The Headless Beast is a boss that can be encountered in the Nightmare Zone. It is a version of the regular Headless Beast encountered in the Getting Ahead quest.

Like its quest version, it is capable of dropping a ball of rock from the ceiling that deals 12-16 damage. This can be dodged by moving a tile away from the rock. It is immune to movement inhibitors from ice spells, bind, snare, and entangle.

In Endurance mode, 1,365 reward points are earned upon defeating the normal difficulty version, and 12,429 reward points are earned upon defeating the hard difficulty version.
