__NoTOC__
Anti-Thief Heads are scripted items that are, like the name suggests, severed heads. The heads have both verb traps and ambient zests. They will bite thieves who try to steal from you, hence the anti-thief part of the name. They appear to come in orc, troll, and goblin types. The ambient zests include screaming, closing the container they are in(if able to be closed), laughing, etc. Also, the heads will chew on wands in that same container turning them into, for example "a gnawed silver wand"

'''Anti-thief heads''' are [[Script|scripted]] severed heads that can be stored in a container, in which they will bite thieves who try to [[Steal|steal]] from you. They are heavily customizable, have verb traps and ambient zests, and will chew on any [[Wand|wands]] in the same container, altering the description (example: "a gnawed silver wand").
Example:
{{TOC limit|2}}
a repulsive fanged goblin head - The sickly green skin has been pulled tight on the head, which appears once to have belonged to a goblin. The head has ragged black hair and a squat warty nose. Crooked, black stitches have been sewn along the neck and eyelids of the head. The stitches are coated with a layer of brownish-black crust composed of blood and dirt.

This is a shrunken head. You can HUG, KISS, LICK, POKE, RAISE, SMOOCH, TAP, TICKLE, TOUCH, TOSS, TURN, and WAVE the head. Idle messaging can be toggled using RUB and SHAKE.
You analyze your fanged goblin head and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.


This head is not to be trusted! If you keep the head in your container, it may gnaw on your items. However, it may also deter any unwelcome wandering hands.

Anti-thief heads are scripted severed heads that can be stored in a container, in which they will bite thieves who try to steal from you. They are heavily customizable, have verb traps and ambient zests, and will chew on any wands in the same container, altering the description (example: "a gnawed silver wand").

Analyze

This is a shrunken head.  You can HUG, KISS, LICK, POKE, RAISE, SMOOCH, TAP, TICKLE, TOUCH, TOSS, TURN, and WAVE the head.  Idle messaging can be toggled using RUB and SHAKE.

This head is not to be trusted!  If you keep the head in your container, it may gnaw on your items.  However, it may also deter any unwelcome wandering hands.

You may be able to find a talented merchant to alter the head for you, but not every merchant will be able to.  Optional customizable options:
Field:     Example:                     Used in:            Custom:
Stitches   "thick, black"               POKE, TICKLE, Idle  thick, black
Hair       "greasy black"               RUB                 knotted grey
Nose       "a bulbous", "a broken"                          a bulbous
Breath     "rancid", "foul smelling"    Idle                rancid
Skin       "pasty", "dark", "blue"                          pasty
Race       "an orc", "an ogre"                              an orc

You get no sense of whether or not the head may be further lightened.
