An undead skull kept aloft and flitting swiftly about by unholy magic. It periodically emits loud, blood-curdling shrieks.

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it."

-William Shakespeare, _Hamlet_, V, 1. 1600.

Useful Info

Flying skulls are weak pack monsters, fast and prone to shrieking. They are found in the Crypt, the Tomb, the Hells, the Abyss, and Pandemonium.

Tips & Tricks

Although harmless, they attract enough attention to be a pest to stealthy characters.
