==Notes==
*Throughout combat, the skull tells you approximately what your enemy's HP currently is (within 4 HP in either direction).
*It is easy to 'abuse' the skull: within a fight, just choose the Inventory menu. You get the "You twiddle your thumbs" message, but the fight enters a new round (without any harm being done) and the skull gives you a new approximation. Doing this a few times will quickly enable you to derive the exact number of HP of your enemy and it will also prove the statement in the previous note. Take care: after 30 rounds you loose the fight!

==References==
*The hat and pipe worn by the detective skull are derived from the stereotypical attire of [[wikipedia:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]].
