Headman
Danger Level 3The Headman is a Level 3 monster that is nearly silent when it has not seen you and completely relentless once it has. It flies, so height buys you nothing.

Behaviour
It floats around clacking its teeth, and the moment it spots you there is an unmistakable piano stinger, a visual glitch and a scream. Then it accelerates hard and bites for 50 damage with slight knockback. It will not stop until you die or it loses you; if it loses you it stays angry for a while, sweeping neighbouring rooms, and if it finds a different semibot they become the new target with no fresh warning. It reaches into hiding spots by turning its head sideways, and if it cannot reach you it gives up on that spot until you make noise. If something blocks its path for long enough, it bites the obstacle, which damages valuables.
How to survive it
Its glowing yellow eyes contrast against almost every environment, so you can usually see a Headman well before it sees you — that is the single most useful fact about it. Crouch-sliding underneath can break its tracking, though you will probably take a bite doing it. It opens doors slowly, and parking the C.A.R.T. in a doorway without holding it can block its path entirely.
REPODLE hints
Fifty damage at Level 3 danger belongs only to the Headman. Every other Level 3 monster hits for 10, 85 or 100, so a damage match here is effectively a solve. Its 250 health and Heavy weight are shared with Reaper and Robe, so do not lead with those columns.
