Made with Bing Ai A creature of unclear origin, found in the Material Plane, but also observed in the Shadowfell, and in rare cases the Negative Energy Plane. Specialising in hunting the undead, many aspiring necromancers, liches or vampires have fallen prey to this beast. Its saliva has also been shown to have regenerative properties and is sometimes used in healing potions and for fighting undead. Attempts have been made in the past to wrangle them up, either as aids for vampire hunters or to farm their saliva, but these attempts rarely bode well due to the skull beast's independent and nomadic nature, and their excrement, as a result of their diet, being incredibly foul and difficult to remove from surfaces.
