The Goblin Head[1] is an enemy in Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame.
Biography[]
Goblin Heads are the heads of slaughtered people of Basra, that were brought back to life by the Witch, and cursed to roam the ruins of the palace for eternity, gnawing on the weeds that have overtaken the ruins. They usually fly around serenely, until a trespasser enters the premises, then they viciously attack that person until he is torn to shreds by their teeth.[1]
Gameplay[]
It first appears as a floating head but when the Prince approaches, it will become agitated and will attack him, reducing 2 or 3 Hp each time it attacks. They will not attack the prince if he is crawling in a tunnel or clinging on to a wall. Blade traps do not affect them. They can be harmed with carefully timed lunges or parrying. Some heads will retreat away from the prince and stay dormant for a bit or until he gets close. A Goblin Head can be instantly killed by being stabbed and pushed against a wall or if falling floor panels fall on them. When there are multiple heads in the same room only one will attack the prince, while the rest remain in wait until the attacking head is killed or dormant.
