The Combat Maneuver Headbutt is used to slam your head into your opponent's head to damage/stun them.

Head protection (including armor, not just armor accessories) that has flares or spikes has a chance to activate when using this maneuver.

The target must be standing to use the Headbutt maneuver. Headbutt uses the height system, so shorter races will have more difficulty using it, and it is unusable against particularly tall targets.
