A small collection of Gruesome Oddities that includes severed heads and blood splattered NPCs.
SEVERED HEADS:
Severed heads that drip blood. No discerning trophy hunter should be without one. There are five to collect.
These heads can be equipped in the left hand of your PC or NPC. All models are tintable and come with an optional dripping blood visual effect. The female human has two hair styles to choose from and the goblin has an optional helmet. Perfect for use as quest items.
GRUESOME NPCs:
NPCs Duncan and Jacoby have been given a make-over with a good splattering of blood. Either NPC is perfect for use as a butcher, surgeon or standard axe murderer.
The NPCs do not override the OC models and have their own index numbers in appearance.2da (1098 & 1099)

Thanks to Bombadil of the Heroes of the Third Age PW for input and Nickschurch for getting the idea of the severed heads started.
Credit to whatbrick for the human female severed head mesh I modified for this hak.
UPDATE 24 Jul 09:
Severed Heads v102: Scaled down the size of the goblin head.
Added Gruesome NPCs v1.00
In their current form the heads cannot be used as placeables. Though I could convert them to placeables easily enough and had thought about making them into heads on pikes.
I am wondering if these heads can be used as placeables to decorate an area? Thank you! _________________________ Joinable NPCs in IWD2. I'm *not* kidding!

@Coliphorbs: The goblin head is the same size as the OC goblin model. Although it is a little on the large size, the screenshots are a bit deceptive. Check the model out in the game.
If there is sufficient interest I will down size the goblin head. _________________________ Barry The Hatchet Custom Content

Great idea - but the goblin heads are about the size of my car. Would you consider resizing them?
