• The power doubling from Tao of the Terrapin does apply to the damage from this skill.
• Other butting skills can be used in combination with this skill, but only as a Turtle Tamer:
  • With Kneebutt, you can do a Head + Knee Combo for 8 MP.
  • With Shieldbutt, you can do a Head + Shield Combo for 9 MP.
  • With both Kneebutt and Shieldbutt, you can do a Head + Knee + Shield Combo for 13 MP.
• If you have a ranged weapon and you use this skill you get the following message:

You can't use Headbutt with a ranged weapon. Because, y'know, that's not how ranged weapons work.

• Headbutting is a fighting technique that uses the cranium to strike an opponent to cause injury or a knockout. And the the Police Department of Hubbard Township, Ohio seem to want to standardise the head butt -- only in America! In the UK, the head butt's comedy connection is via John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett's 1982 song Headbutts!, during live renditions of which Otway would head butt his microphone, risking physical injury but securing a sponsorship from Shure Microphones.
