...is apparently a mace. I'm not sure what RPG inspiration for this was, so maybe the head just attacks with a litany of curses, activated by swinging its cage around.
If it does not however - should the head have the Bludgeoning trait, like all the other maces?
Quoting the source material: "A short length of chain is affixed to the cage, allowing a creature to wield her in combat as an improvised flail; doing so allows Neferekhu to make a free bite against the target on a successful hit."
She also does glare and curse at everything around her, weirdly enough :)
If only Biting we're a trait.
Every goblin.

More details on her, from the rpg:
Quoting the source material: "A short length of chain is affixed to the cage, allowing a creature to wield her in combat as an improvised flail; doing so allows Neferekhu to make a free bite against the target on a successful hit."
Heh, you know - our Estra encountered one of those pesky scrolls (immune to Bludgeoning) with only Neferkhu on hand, so that caused a discussion if maybe Neferkhu needed an errata and should be disallowed against the scroll. One of the players then actually argued:
"Like hell the scroll is immune to her - the zombie head just rips it apart with its teeth!"Prophetic words, it turns out :)
I brought Balazar (WOTR Version) through Mummy's Mask and was delighted to find that playing her does not count as playing a weapon; it gives his standard attack a lovely d8 boost. And once I picked up Ring of the Grasping Grave and realized every check with Neferekhu invoked the Undead trait I was adding a d4, d8 and the AD# to every combat, not to mention the standard strength + arcane + ad# from Padrig. Extremely powerful combo (d4, d6, d8, d10 + 18 in AD6 with maxed out Charisma)
