• The power doubling from Tao of the Terrapin does apply to the damage from this skill.
  • If the numeric power of the hat is odd (such as the samurai turtle helmet or irate sombrero), the doubling will add +1 to the upper end of damage. A hat of 45 will do 9 to 19 damage, for example.
• 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 equipped 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.
