    An arcane head looks much as it did in life, except that it has no body. created in Ouliandris.
    Its eyes are empty and white, and a supernatural glow surrounds it. Its
    teeth are much sharper than those of a normal human, and its neck has
    been sewn shut where it was severed from its body. An arcane head moves
    through the power of magical flight, tracing mystical patterns in the air as
    it travels. When the mystic patterns of several heads are combined in a
    specific way, a portal opens through which its Nightlord controller may
    travel to reach its ghastly servants.
    The only sounds made by an arcane head are low, pathetic moans and
    the grinding of sharp teeth. It appears they can communicate with its
    Nightlord in some way, but they do not speak or otherwise talk to their
    victims.
    Arcane heads always attack in a flock, flying around their victims and
    darting in to bite or bash. In the first round of combat, the heads dive at a
    victim, trying to employ their special bash attack. A bash attack requires a
    successful attack roll. It is actually a magical attack that inflicts no physical
    damage. Instead, the victim must make a saving throw vs. spell or be
    stunned by the touch of the head’s arcane aura for 1d4+1 rounds. Stunned
    characters suffer automatic bite damage round from any arcane heads that
    attack them.
    Each head bites for 1d6 points of damage. The speed and small size of
    each head accounts for its Armor Class. If held in place (such as by a web
    spell), a head only has an AC 7.
    In addition to flight and the bash attack, the heads use their arcane
    powers to open a magical portal controlled by a Nightlord. It takes at least
    five heads spinning in unison for 1d4+1 rounds to open the portal. Its
    Nightlord can step through the portal or use it to transport wanderers into
    a the Nightlord’s Demesne.
    When not prowling the dark hours on behalf of their Nightlord, the
    flock of arcane heads rests in one of the caverns or decimated forests of
    Ouliandris. There are never more than 13 heads in the flock. If any are
    destroyed. the Nightlord makes an effort to replace them as soon as
    possible. The heads serve as that Nightlord’s spies throughout the
    Ouliandris, checking on the activities of wanderers and other Nightlords.
    The heads specifically search for wanderers so that their Nightlord can use
