Zombie heads can be obtained by completing one of the Halloween events that occur once per year. This also rewards the player with all other holiday items associated with Halloween.

Previously, they were obtainable during the 2013 Rare Drops event (from 26 August to 2 September) as part of a rare item drop.

If destroyed, a replacement can be obtained from Diango in Draynor Village or from the toy box of a costume room. A lost zombie head can also be recovered by digging in the Lumbridge Swamp with a spade.

Options

Talk-At

A player talking at a zombie head

When a player clicks the "Talk-At" option, they perform an emote. The player will kneel with their right knee on the ground and hold the zombie head from the neck stub so that it is facing them. All the while, the player will be saying, "Alas!"

Display

A player displaying a zombie head

When a player clicks the "Display" option, they perform an emote. The player will swing their left arm back and thrust forward their right arm. In their right hand, the player will hold the zombie head (facing away from the player) by the neck stub so as to show it off. All the while, the player will be saying, "Mwuhahahaha!"

Question

When a player clicks the "Question" option, a list of five questions will appear. When clicked on, the player will ask the question, and the player and zombie head will become engaged in conversation.

Use

There is currently one known purpose for the "Use Zombie head" option.

There is a unique dialogue that takes place by using the zombie head on Dr Fenkenstrain during the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest.

Trivia

• The examine text are references to the famous Shakesperean tragedy, Hamlet. In one scene, Hamlet finds the remains of a friend of his and performs a soliloquy with the skull, one line being the famous (and often misquoted) "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio."
• The Zombie Head's alleged name, Edward Cranium, may be a reference to Eddie The Head, Iron Maiden's mascot.
