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"


Examples:

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.

a charred green troll head - The charred green skin has been pulled tight on the head, which appears once to have belonged to a troll. The head has greasy black hair and a bulbous nose. Thick, red 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.
