A beheading can be a messy and extremely painful thing to see, let alone experience. While it's been said that, theoretically (it's understandably hard to confirm), consciousness may continue for a few seconds after decapitation, note It has been shown that random brain activity can continue for many minutes, ending in a flurry of activity reminiscent of a brain seizure. in fiction, consciousness after decapitation can last much, much longer... or even indefinitely. The severed head generally possesses the ability to audibly speak despite their mouth no longer being connected to their lungs, and may or may not even be capable of independent movement, either by bouncing, rolling or levitating. Sometimes the body will still be functional and capable of moving on its own, resulting in the head trying to tell it to pick it up and reattach it. This trope can be justified for robots, which may have a power source in their skull that keeps them going after it's been separated from their shoulders: they may not have their core processor in their head anyway. The Undead and other supernatural beings may also exhibit an ability to have a functioning head separate from their still-functioning body. Robots could also have their entire vocal system located in their head, but any biological creature should only be able to mouth words. When multiple heads/brains/souls/CPUs/etc. are removed and then reinstalled in working order at the same time, this will almost always result in them being "returned" to the wrong bodies, giving a Visceral "Freaky Friday" Flip. See: Alas, Poor Yorick, Brain in a Jar, Helping Hands, Your Head A-Splode, Cranial Processing Unit, Detachment Combat, Oracular Head. Related to Headless Horseman, Pulling Themselves Together, Appendage Assimilation, and Having a Heart. Contrast Decapitation Required, when it's the only way to kill them successfully. For decapitation in general, see Off with His Head!. Not to be confused with Talking Heads, which is a stylistic convention. |

Aladdin: The Series has a villain named Kapok whose evil head is separated from his kind body. Interestingly, his head thinks with his mind, but his body thinks with his heart. Aladdin even gets inflicted with the same curse during the episode. Don't worry, he gets better. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): After San was decapitated from Ghidorah during the events of the movie, the severed head retains San's mind and some degree of consciousness, although the head is immobile on the outside; except for its eyes appearing to track and follow Alan Jonah's men when they approach it, and except for episodes where the head moves its jaw or vocal chords around to accommodate the birth of the hybrid creature it's forming and gestating. In Chapter 15, the Many-infested, reanimated Manda's head deliberately rips away from its main body in the style of The Thing (1982), to escape its fight with Godzilla and Scylla. |

Ultraman Taro had Mukadender, who could detach its head from its body at will to fight as two combatants. The catch is that damage to Mukadendar’s head is still felt by its body and vice versa (same goes with actions such as being thrown into the air). | |

The Mighty Thor: Thanks to magical precautions, Loki can survive decapitation, and his body can pick up his head and reattach it. At the climax of one arc, an empowered Thor inflicts this on Loki by ripping his head off and magically keeping him alive, forced to watch the conclusion of Ragnarok. Later, the Enchantress does this to Donald Blake after he is separated from Thor, Thor eventually leaving Blake's head where it can remain in a 'dream' of the life he would have lived if he had been real. |

Happens in the Good Luck Charlie episode "Gabe Turns 12-½" when Bob Duncan goes to the fridge to get some cake in a platter only to find P.J.'s very much alive head instead, which then asks where his body is at (which is never directly explained). Bob then realizes his son's unable to stop him so he eats a cupcake in front of his face. Of course, since it's an end credits gag, this never really happened. | |

Doom Patrol: Grant Morrison's run features a trio of bizarre government agents called the SeX-Men. One of them gets decapitated and is shown to still be able to survive without a body. After being decapitated at the end of Morrison's run, Niles Caulder spent Rachel Pollack's run as a disembodied head due to intervention of the Teiresiae and the nannos. He has since appeared whole again. Being a human brain in a robot body, Cliff Steele has occasionally survived having his head removed from his body and recovering by simply having his head attached to a new body (if reattaching to his old body isn't possible). This is in spite of the original 1960s series making it clear several times that Robotman can't survive having his head being separated from his body. |

Angel: Angel figures out that an overzealous cop is a zombie when he decapitates the cop and the cop keeps on talking for awhile. Lorne gets his head sent to Cordelia on a platter in another episode. His people can survive this, however; as he explains, his species of demon only die if their body is mutilated too. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, attacking the body of a Stal creature will just cause the head and body to separate. It can only be defeated if Link destroys the head... but if there are any other Stal creatures of the same type, any head can reaffix to any matching body, leaving the bodies to attack Link until all heads are destroyed. Fortunately, all Stal heads will die from a single blow from any weapon, even if still attached to the body. | |

This was repeated in the Season 2 DVD artwork. In "Treehouse of Horror IV", Homer is decapitated while spending a day in Hell. Homer's costume (which becomes real) in "Treehouse of Horror XVI". |

Naruto: Hidan is immortal, but one time it was cut off he couldn't move until Kakuzu used his threads to sew it back on. Later, Kakuzu isn't around to reattach it, and Shikamaru cuts his head off, but decides to be more thorough and blows up his body while throwing his head into a deep pit in the private land of the Nara clan and then buries it in an avalanche. While the head is screaming curses at him. Later still, Kisame (not really) has this happen to him, and he is somehow able to get off a compliment on his opponents' abilities as his head flies through the air. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Greed has Law take his head off with a huge sledgehammer as a demonstration of his powers. He then tells him to improve his aim after regenerating, due to him missing a part of his jaw. Al gets his head taken off multiple times. Of course, this barely affects him. He can still speak, as it seems the sound comes from the blood seal that's in the armor's body, which seems to indicate his head is essentially decorative. Same goes for Barry; he just snaps his head back on whenever it gets knocked off. Slicer's blood seal is in the helmet, so while it's still not fatal it does incapacitate him. Of course, then his younger brother can just take over. |

Alien: This rule applies to androids in some capacity. Alien: While not completely decapitated, Ash is able to operate with little more than a few wires keeping his head on his shoulders. Later, his head is successfully reactivated after it's been fully torn off from the body, save for a few connected wires. Prometheus: David's head likewise remains fully operational after being torn off, although his body can do little more than twitch. Alien³: Bishop from Aliens is torn in half in that film, but in Alien³, after his ship crashes only his head (and part of the chest) "survives". Ripley does have to plug his remains into various pieces of hardware in order to turn him back on/re-activate/bring back to life. She offers to keep him running in the hope of repair but he declines the offer and chooses to die/get turned off/de-re-activated. |

DC Animated Universe: Mr. Freeze is reduced to a disembodied head that can detach from his robotic body to move on mechanical spider legs by the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Cold Comfort". In a Continuity Nod, when he shows up again in the Batman Beyond episode "Meltdown", all that's left is his head. He's understandably not too happy about it. Early drafts for Beyond played this for Black Comedy, with Old Man Wayne keeping the head in his refrigerator. It curses him impotently whenever he opens the door. Mr. Mxyzptlk in his debut episode of Superman: The Animated Series at one point removes his own head, which then regrows his body. Of course, he is a Reality Warper. |

Dragon Ball: In the original Dragon Ball manga, Sergeant Metallic has his head blown up by Goku's Kamehameha, but survives as he's a robot. Surely, it scares and surprises him. Shortly after, however, Metallic runs out of battery. Dragon Ball Z: After Vegeta decapitates Guldo, Guldo's head survives long enough to yell at Vegeta before getting vaporized altogether. Similarly, Doctor Gero (a cyborg) is still able to rant after Android 17 decapitates him. 17 fixes this by stomping on Gero's head. Happens to Android 16 (who, unlike other "androids", is 100% mechanical) after he gets blown to bits in the Cell arc. After his Final Speech, Cell steps on the head and destroys it. Which makes Gohan go BATSHIT on Cell. When Majin Buu punches Babidi's head to mush, his body continues to move until Buu vaporizes it. Majin Buu has his head blasted off during the fight against Kid Buu (having been removed from Kid Buu's system). It's easily reformed from his body, however, since he can regenerate from almost every wound. In Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, Cooler was reduced to his head after Goku knocked him into the sun in Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge. He fuses with a machine called the Big Gete Star and makes robot copies of himself. |

Harry Potter Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets introduces the Headless Hunt, a Wild Hunt-esque troupe of Headless Horsemen who partake in Severed Head Sports like Horseback Head-Juggling, Head Polo, and Headless Bowling. A perennial source of frustration for Nearly Headless Nick is that he can't join because his head is still attached to his neck by one little strip of flesh. One means of communicating via the Floo network is to have just your head travel through fireplaces to speak with whoever is on the other side. The feeling while doing so is described as having a hot muffler around one's head and neck. |

Inverted in Tank Girl, where Kesslee suffers a terrible facial injury from the Rippers, so has his own head cut off deliberately and his consciousness downloaded into a hologram-projecting computer, installed in his neck. No telling how he eats and breathes and perceives his surroundings thereafter, but it generates a 3-D image of his head that moves in synch with a voice synthesizer. | |

Attack on Titan: Titans can generally survive the removal of their heads (which they'll quickly regenerate), often being able to keep walking without it. Even on the occasions where decapitation kills them, it's not actually the loss of the head, but when the process of its removal also happens to cut away the nape of the neck. Eren gets his head blown clean off by Gabi's anti-Titan rifle, but stays conscious long enough to enter the Paths once his head lands in Zeke's hand. He then becomes a mountain-sized skeletal Titan, but his true form inside is just his head. When Mikasa finally severs him from his Titan body, his remaining head instantly dies this time. |

Early in Sandman Slim, Stark cuts off the head of Kasabian, the hardest-luck member of the circle that sent him to Hell. He did so with an enchanted knife that only kills when he orders it to, so Kasabian's head sits in his closet for most of the book, bitching about its state. Near the end, it dies outright, only to get sent back by Lucifer as part of a job deal. Between the first book and Kill the Dead, Stark gets it an animated table with articulated legs so that it can move by itself. | |

Discworld: Vampires have to be staked as well as decapitated to kill — Otto loses his head in The Truth and merely has to put it back on the stump. They find it embarrassing to reattach their heads in public (he compares it to using the facilities in front of people). Likewise, zombies on the Discworld can survive almost any dismemberment. The ghost of Champot, first King of Lancre in Wyrd Sisters, carries his head under his arm in the standard ghost-of-Anne-Boleyn style. However, while he claims he was decapitated by his son, the Discworld Companion says he actually died of gout, and the reason for the head-under-the-arm thing is unknown. |

Jenova was decapitated in the events leading to Final Fantasy VII. Sephiroth, realizing the jig is up (and unable to take the entire body with him), removed his "mother's" head on his way out of the Nibelheim mako reactor. However, he was waylaid by pre-amnesiac Cloud Strife and thrown from the connecting bridge, sinking into the pool of mako. The headless body of Jenova continues to live on - albeit in cryogenic suspension - waiting to be "reunited" with its missing parts. | |

Inuyasha: Naraku often sends disguised puppets to fight in his place. The first time that this is revealed, the puppet is beheaded, and appears to be dead. After the protagonists let down their guard, the puppet springs back to life, including the head which rolls upright again, and begins to speak. The episode "3000 Leagues in Search of Father" also focuses around this. Demons have enough vigor to survive decapitation for a day or two, which leads to the son of a demon to find his father's body and place the head back on. |

Fortunately, his colleagues zoom in just in time to snatch back his head, but not before he's had a horrified moment to realize exactly what just happened. Later, Zakalwe is in hospital waiting for a new body to be grown (they gave him the choice of remaining unconscious, but he'd rather watch television) when the artificially intelligent drone Skaffen-Amtiskaw (who doesn't like Zakalwe much and has a twisted sense of humor) sends him a present: a hat. | |

The first Appleseed movie has a pair of gynoids with cutting whips that do quite a number on Hitomi's car and later on Briareos' Hand Cannon as well. Then, when a gynoid thinks it will be taken prisoner, it twirls the wire around its own head to slice up its cranial section. However, the lower jaw section apparently has enough functional circuitry to say the cryptic words "The Appleseed seal must not be unlocked" before it's destroyed by a Boom, Headshot! (implied to have been fired to stop anything further from being said). | |

In Claymore, cutting the head is normally the surest way to kill a Claymore or an Awakened being, except when it isn't. Two or three Awakened Being defied this norm. Of them, Europa is the one who plays this trope the straightest as she's able to "play dead" by being decapitated while in Human form and then transform in her true Awakened form Decapitation has otherwise no effect on her. The other two are Priscilla, who's not only resistant to decapitation but has the ability to regenerate From a Single Cell, and "Bloody" Agatha, who basically cheats as her human body is just an appendage while her true "necks" that connect her head to her true body are her hairs; when she was decapitated in battle she all but mocked her enemies. |

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate Vision: Vision cut Tarleton's head for killing Dima, and threw it to the horizon. That doesn't kill him, but left him in a highly uncomfortable position. Ultimate Wolverine at one point gets decapitated, yet remains alive to converse with Nick Fury. Fury theorizes it's because his Healing Factor is actually a "survival factor" and his body is adapting to continue surviving instead of merely healing, with the skin of his head taking in oxygen to keep his brain alive. |

Land of Oz: Princess Langwidere, a character in Ozma of Oz. She has 30 different heads that she can place on her neck. Her heads come in a variety of hair, eye, and skin colors. Princess Langwidere was the inspiration for Mombi in the adaptation (see Return to Oz), and given a chilling treatment in the Scissor Sisters song "Return to Oz". Mombi and Langwidere were separate characters in Baum's books, and the latter was merely a spoiled and careless Royal Brat instead of a villain. In The Tin Woodman of Oz, the Tin Woodman returns to the (now empty) tinworker's house and finds his original, flesh-and-blood head. (For him, the trope was inverted: he lost the rest of his body.) They have a conversation and find they don't like each other. In The Marvelous Land of Oz (which features Mombi), when Jack Pumpkinhead is riding in the flying Gump, he refuses to look over the side, fearing that his head might fall off. Prof. Wogglebug lampshades this with one of his insensitive puns, declaring: "In that event your head would no longer be a pumpkin, for it would become a squash." Later on in the Oz books, Jack Pumpkinhead has his own pumpkin patch. Every time his head begins to spoil, he carves out a new head for himself. |

Green Lantern: Abin Sur, the man who gave Hal Jordan his ring, has an evil son. Sur Jr. gets his head chopped off. It's later revealed that his race (he's an alien) doesn't quite need their heads, and he regrows it (slowly) to return... only to get shredded after killing some kids. No luck there. At the end of the Larfleeze ongoing, the robot L-Frank appears to get killed from having his head blasted off, but later appears still functioning while holding his detached head. |

His head always follows him around, either floating on its own or resting on one of his hands. This was carried to Memetic Mutation levels in Shin Mazinger: | |

Happens in The Boxer's Omen during a black magic ritual gone wrong; a witch doctor's head, upon being possessed, ends up detaching itself and floats around, with its intestines a-dangling underneath lashing out like a series of whips. Yes, it's a weird movie. | |

Saintess Summons Skeletons: It turns out that if you don't need to breathe or bleed, you can cut your own head off and survive. Sofia still uses a False Immortality rune before testing it, just in case — which actually gets in the way, because the rune blocks her ability to heal, so she can't just stick her head back on. | |

The Young Ones, Vyvyan sticks his head out the train window and another train cuts it off. His head lies in the tracks calling out to his body, which stumbles around looking for him. And then kicks it further along the track after the head insults it. Another time, two head-carrying ghosts wander through the lads' flat and accidentally drop their heads, forcing the bodies to stumble around picking up round objects ("No, that's a grapefruit!") in search of them. Later, the ghostly heads are seen arguing about whose body is whose, and even forehead-butting one another over possession of the one with a nicer bottom. |

Vengarl of Forossa from Dark Souls II was a brutish, bloodthirsty mercenary until he got decapitated in a fierce battle... and woke up as a disembodied undead head. Ironically, he learned to enjoy his newfound peace, spending his time watching the forest, thinking and occasionally talking with random travellers. His only concern is that his headless body still is rampaging somewhere else. The Earthen Peak area is populated mostly by headless, magically animated mannequins. The boss of said area, Mytha the Baneful Queen, tore off their heads for 'daring to gaze upon her'. Mytha herself is a half-woman-half-snake, also beheaded, who carries her head in her left hand and uses it as a sorcery catalyst, and occasionally as a magic grenade. |

Happens from time to time in Schlock Mercenary. The level of medical technology available in the series allows entire bodies to be regrown so long as the head remains intact. Der Trihs spent quite a few strips as a head in a jar, as have most of the cast. Karl Tagon once spent an arc as a head in a jar as well. Attached to a headless monkey he was able to control, and still kicked a ton of ass doing it. | |

Exalted has an odd version of this from the dangerously powerful Charcoal March of Spiders supernatural martial art. The user delivers a punch so ludicrously hard that the head not only explodes, but the person whose head did explode has several seconds thereafter to think and react because they, and reality itself, haven't caught up to the fact just yet. | |

This is referenced in Peter Pan in a scene where Smee mistakenly thinks that he decapitated Captain Hook while giving him a shave and tells Hook that he will find his head, not realizing that this would have killed him, or that there should have been more blood if it had happened. He had actually just covered Hook's head with a towel and somehow didn't notice that he had been shaving a seagull that landed on it and then flew away. | |

Body and head are both capable of acting independently, but the body lacks the head's senses and needs to get it back in order to use them.

The Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Alternate Universe Fic Sapphire Heartverse has this trope apply to Jonathan Joestar's head, as like in canon his body was taken by Dio who opted to magically keep Jonathan's head alive in a jar. As of the time the AU takes place, Jonathan has since learned how to move by bouncing and operating things using his mouth, and any food he eats goes to Dio's stomach, which is often Played for Laughs. In later entries of the AU, the cast has since been joined by the living severed heads of other, deceased characters that were magically resurrected, with the same rules applying as with Jonathan's head. | |

Princess Langwidere, a character in Ozma of Oz. She has 30 different heads that she can place on her neck. Her heads come in a variety of hair, eye, and skin colors. Princess Langwidere was the inspiration for Mombi in the adaptation (see Return to Oz), and given a chilling treatment in the Scissor Sisters song "Return to Oz". Mombi and Langwidere were separate characters in Baum's books, and the latter was merely a spoiled and careless Royal Brat instead of a villain. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Trolls; anything cut off them, including heads, can live and will either reattach itself or regenerate. One of the Mystara supplements described trollish games, some of which involve using the head of one of the participants as a living football. Which tries to bite the feet that kick it. Unsurprisingly, the Ravenloft setting plays with this trope. Jacqueline Montarri is a headless NPC villain who steals the heads of women to wear, and has an enormous collection of decapitated and still conscious female heads in her basement. (This is a curse, which she can only undo by finding her real head, which she has been looking for ever since she was executed by beheading centuries ago. To be blunt, as she will tell you, horrid fates like this will often befall those who cheat and murder members of the Vistani.) Lebendtod, a zombie-like undead template, can remove their heads and limbs at will. |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Humma Kavula takes one of Zaphod Beeblebrox's heads as collateral while they retrieved the POV gun. He mounted it on a hula girl bobblehead and put a sign that read "Idiot". (No, he's not bitter about losing the election to Zaphod. Why'd you ask?) | |

In the "Test Your Luck" game in Mortal Kombat 9, one of the results causes both fighters to fight the next match headless. The worst thing about this is, neither player can use X-Ray moves; exactly how bad it is otherwise depends on what fighter you're using. (For many, it's not much else, but for a few, it can be very hindering. It's the most debilitating for Kung-Lao, seeing as half his moves and almost all his Fatalities require his hat.) In Mortal Kombat X, this is the fate of Shinnok at the hands of Dark Raiden, because he is an Elder God and cannot die. In one of the stages of Mortal Kombat 11, his severed and still living head is on display. |

In the "Look at the Princess" trilogy of Farscape, John and his alien princess bride are turned into fully conscious statues so they can observe the workings of the Senate until it is time for them to begin their reign. The jealous prince tries punching him (ineffectively) but his Scarran associate decides to just chop John's head off in an attempt to render him unable to rule. The head is still able to talk (via magic headsets) until it is successfully reattached. | |

Unsurprisingly happens a few times in Nightmare Ned's many Nightmare Sequences: In "Headless Lester", Ned has a run-in with the eponymous campfire-story creep and afterwards walks back to his cabin, whereupon his constantly giggling head topples off his body after his worried cabin counselor grabs him by the shoulders. Notably, and a bit ironically, this was in the one episode of the series wherein the obligatory nightmare wasn't actually being had by Ned. In "A Doll's House", this happens to Ned when he drives a toy car down his house's stairs in an attempt to escape his (now giant to him) cousins. His cousins "fix" the broken "dolly" by sticking Ned's head on a cheerleader doll, much to Ned's chagrin. |

The Black Company: This happens to The Dominator for a short time (less than an hour), up until his soul was imprisoned inside of a silver nail, and his head grounded and incinerated into ashes. In the same battle that the Dominator was slain, The Limper's head was lost. And then found by the demon, Toad-Killer Dog, who extorts tribes of savages and their shamans to construct a wicker body for the wizard whose name currently grosely overstates his mobility (i.e. The Limper). For a time period spanning half the series Soulcatcher, would travel with her disembodied head that she would carry in a black box. Her state of head-not-being-on-top-of-her-shoulders ended when Croaker sewed it back on. |

In Grim Fandango, Salvador Limones gets reduced to a talking skull. Sure, he was Dead to Begin With, but the rest of the skeleton, which you have to find later, is not animated, implying that the head is still the part that holds one's consciousness, even after death. Even as a skull, Sal manages to perform a Heroic Sacrifice by spitting Sproutella into the face of a character who betrayed him, thus rendering both of them Deader than Dead. | |

We then see an Imagine Spot of just such happening with Francine's disembodied head complimenting the beautiful lawn she just landed in. Similarly, a different episode has Buster's head fly away instead, only his head breaks into pieces upon landing. |

The Legend of Zelda: In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, the boss monster Jermafenser/Helmethead will lose several helmet-covered heads that proceed to float and attack Link independently of the body. Blind the Thief from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has a similar strategy, losing and regrowing his head through the fight while the extra heads attack Link. Igos du Ikana from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask attaches and reattaches his head to attack Link during the fight against him. Once he and his Skull Knights are defeated and their bodies disintegrated using reflected sunlight, their incorporeal spirits are represented by the same floating skulls. In The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons, a skeletal Piratian had his entire body destroyed except for his skull. Link must carry his skull so the Piratian can help locate the bell his Captain was looking for. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, attacking the body of a Stal creature will just cause the head and body to separate. It can only be defeated if Link destroys the head... but if there are any other Stal creatures of the same type, any head can reaffix to any matching body, leaving the bodies to attack Link until all heads are destroyed. Fortunately, all Stal heads will die from a single blow from any weapon, even if still attached to the body. |

In the reboot of Shadow Warrior, Xing, one of the Ancients, lost his head on the order of Enra, the leader of the Shadow Realm, for conspiring with Hoji to poison their sister and try to overthrow him. But because Xing is an Ancient, an immortal demon that cannot be killed except with the Nobitsura Kage, being decapitated is just an inconvenience to him. You encounter his head late in the game, when you journey to the Shadow Realm to rescue Hoji and stop him from creating a Whisperer of you and sacrificing his memories of you, and he proves to be quite the amiable and chatty fellow. | |

Pearl is understandably freaked out by this, she feels to make sure her head is back on her body where it belongs and then proceeds to Faint in Shock; Amethyst freaks out because her head reattaches backwards, and Garnet visibly shudders after being frozen in an uncomfortable expression. Steven takes it a lot better, giving Uncle Grandpa a fist bump when they come back. | |

One of the historical stories from The Zombie Survival Guide had a tale told to a Jesuit Missionary in Feudal Japan. The story goes that Japan had a secret society whose function was to hunt down and eliminate zombies, and the finial initiation was for an acolyte to spend a full night sitting in a room full of moaning zombie heads that had been cut off and preserved in jars. The "editor" of these historical stories does note that this would be impossible because of the Fridge Logic about the zombies needing lungs to moan, thus either meaning the tale is false, exaggerated, or the moans are the product of the terror felt by the acolytes. The book also contains several other cases of zombie heads kept in jars, either as part of ancient science experiments or as oddities in various courts. |

Super Mario Bros.: The Recapitator (skeleton enemies) in Wario Land: Shake It! have their sole attack being to detach and throw their head at Wario like a boomerang, catching it afterwards. They also come back to life when killed like the Dry Bones in the main Mario games, and can only permanently be killed by destroying their body while their head is in mid air. Or, if you're feeling saucy, destroy the head and leave the body hanging for awhile before it collapses into a heap. Broque Monsieur of the Mario & Luigi games is shown in Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team to be able to flip his head in the air◊ in order to, of all things, change his facial expression. |

Skeleton Warriors (PlayStation tie-in to the cartoon) have Prince Lightstar trolling Aracula after the boss fight, where in the following cutscene the defeated Aracula pulls himself together from a pile of bones, but Lightstar managed to snatch his skull away. Cue Aracula comically fumbling around to look for his cranium until Lightstar throws it down a corridor, and the headless Aracula running after it before hitting a wall. | |

Book of the Dead (2021): Tyron is still a low-level necromancer, and doesn't have any idea of how to actually give a spirit control of a body; he only knows how to make puppets controlled by himself. So when Dove the summoner dies an untimely death, and Tyron wants to raise him, he doesn't keep the full body, just binds the spirit into its own skull, resulting in a (rather unhappy, but easily portable) talking head. | |

Known Space: In Ringworld, Nessus, a Pierson's Puppeteer, is decapitated. Luckily, not only does his species have two heads, but neither of them are where Puppeteers keep their brain. It's at most an inconvenience until he can get a new head attached. The short story "Procrustes" starts off with Beowulf Schaefer stepping out of an autodoc. It's later revealed that he was in it because he had been beheaded and was regrown from the removed head. |

Mr. Freeze is reduced to a disembodied head that can detach from his robotic body to move on mechanical spider legs by the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Cold Comfort". In a Continuity Nod, when he shows up again in the Batman Beyond episode "Meltdown", all that's left is his head. He's understandably not too happy about it. Early drafts for Beyond played this for Black Comedy, with Old Man Wayne keeping the head in his refrigerator. It curses him impotently whenever he opens the door. | |

In The Crumpets, Ditzy's head is detachable, and with its lightness and string, it floats and looks like a balloon. Both the head and body can function on their own. The string can secure her head to the body by a tied knot. Her head can come off by force or surprise. There is an episode where her head is unable to float. | |

Killer7 has Susie, a severed head you tend to meet in very enclosed spaces (the first one being a washing machine). She always has a ring in her mouth when you find her. She's also a ghost. She's also completely loopy. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Tom Servo's gumball machine head falls off a few times. This happened quite often during shooting, as the Hilarious Outtakes show, and sometimes they decided to Throw It In!. On an episode where the movie involved a ghostly disembodied head, both bots remove their heads and speak in ghostly voices in an attempt to scare Joel. Unimpressed, he takes their inert bodies away and leaves them alone with the lights off. |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: In the magic-themed episode "Vanishing Act", Cindy Vortex, Carl Wheezer, Sheen Estevez and Betty Quinlan, become floating heads when they enter a strange dimension and look for their headless bodies. Once they enter a picture of a desert, they find their headless bodies are searching around the desert feeling the ground for them. They reattach their heads to their bodies and act like nothing happened (except Sheen, whose head is on backwards). | |

In "The Scarlet Citadel", Tsotha-lanti tells Conan the Barbarian that "if you hack me in pieces, the bits of flesh and bone will reunite and haunt you to your doom!" The next moment, Conan cuts off his head. The head remained alive, and the body attempted to recover it. Fortunately, a friendly sorcerer took away the head, the body ran after him, and the king was rid of the need to find a solution. | |

In Ogre Battle, you can recruit Pumpkins (men with pumpkins for heads) into your army, who attack by tearing off their own heads, kicking them into the air, whereupon they grow to huge size and land on an enemy, halving their HP (or killing undead units outright) unless they miss. If you upgrade them to a Hallowe'en, they can do it twice a fight! | |

Dragon's Crown: Skeleton enemies will lose their head if you damage them enough but they will still fight in this state. However, since they no longer have eyes to see with, they'll mainly run around randomly while flailing their sword wildly. The Warrior Monk you meet in the Forgotten Sanctuary is injured by a Hell Hound's head that continued to bite down on her leg even after it was decapitated. |

The Elder Scrolls: From the series' backstory comes Pelinal Whitestrake, the legendary 1st Era hero of mankind/racist berserker. Believed to have been a Shezarrine, physical incarnations of the spirit of the "dead" creator god Lorkhan (known to the Imperials as "Shezarr"), Pelinal came to St. Alessia to serve as her divine champion in the war against the Ayleids. When Alessia and her army was too struck with fear to attack the White-Gold Tower occupied by Ayleid leader Umaril the Unfeathered, Pelinal charged in himself and defeated (though could not kill) Umaril before he himself was slain. His body was cut into eight pieces by the Ayleids to mock the Eight Divines. His head was left behind and discovered by Morihaus, with whom he had one final conversation that is now lost to history. A Good Bad Bug in Skyrim sometimes causes enemies beheaded mid-sentence to continue a taunt after decapitation. The game doesn't stop the sound file when the enemy dies, resulting in a disembodied voice for a second or so. |

One Piece: Buggy the Clown can separate any body part, but his move "Chop Chop Quick Escape" involves him popping his head off to stop people from punching his face. There's also Trafalgar Law, who apparently can do similar things to other people. The first instance of him using tricks like that in the manga involves a justifiably weirded out marine juggling the talking head of one of his comrades. Crocodile got his head sliced off by Doflamingo, but because he can use his Logia fruit's reformation power by reflex he attached it just a second later. This only happened in the manga, but after being attacked by Dalton, Wapol's troupe of doctors were quick to patch him up... except for the fact that they hadn't reattached his head to his body, which they did off-panel. After the Time Skip, Brook gets his head taken off by a Fish Man Pirate, but then reveals he's perfectly fine. Since learning to master the power of his Revive-Revive Fruit, Brook learned that it was the power of his soul keeping his body moving. Since he has no vital organs to risk, it's a simple matter to pop his head back on. |

Futurama: The Heads in Jars combine this with Brain in a Jar. It's eventually revealed to be a form of limited time travel, creating a tiny bubble in which the heads are perpetually in the time period during which they were alive. Bender frequently suffers this, at least once as a Shout-Out to Star Trek: The Next Generation. In "A Head in the Polls", he purposely sells his body for lots of money (it's worth more due to supply and demand). He drives around in a little car until getting it back from President Nixon. He also uses his ability to detach his head to (what else?) rob people. In "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", Fry has his head surgically removed and placed on Amy's shoulder after being severely injured in a car accident. This happens to Hermes in Bender's Big Score. Somehow, he manages to keep yelling at people for several minutes after being decapitated, before he's put in a jar. In Bender's Game, Zoidberg's head crawls on tentacles once it's been severed from his body. Since that instance took place in Bender's fantasy world it's not certain if the real Zoidberg can do it as well. This happens to the Professor in the video game when Mom decapitates his head to use his brain in her plot against his will. |

ZUN mentioned in his music notes for her theme music that he wasn't sure if the Rokurokubi was the Youkai that could stretch their neck or if it was the youkai that could detach their head (a possible Shout-Out to Lafcadio Hearn who mentioned in his book that people misidentify the Nukekubi for a Rokurokubi), so he gave her both powers. | |

Notably, when Dilbert discovers one of these heads, he speaks to it first, as if he expects it to be able to answer. Lena suffers this same fate herself by the end of the episode. | |

Kratos in the God of War games not only is able to tear off the head of the Gorgons, but proceed to use their (apparently still living) heads as weapons, petrifying enemies with their eye-beams. In the third game he does the same for the god Helios, using him as a Lantern. | |

In a Ravenloft skit performed at GenCon 1999, "One Piece at a Time", a lady surgeon attempts to bring her fiancée back to life after he dies in a tragic accident. The title says it all, but early scenes correspond to this trope. Sean Reynolds, playing the fiancée with his head stuck through a hole in a covered table, couldn't see the page of lines lying beside him. "I can't even hold a script!" | |

Her fighting style revolves around extending, detaching, and reattaching her limbs — most notably her head, which functions not only as a weapon but is capable of propelling itself around and attacking independently of her body. | |

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In one episode, Courage, Eustace and Muriel have their heads chopped off by the Windmill Vandals' weapons (with their headless bodies frantically feeling around for their lost heads) and end up on each other's bodies. Courage's head (transplanted on Muriel's body) even uses Eustace's complaining head as a bowling ball to momentarily topple the marauders. Moreover, this isn't the first time Eustace has lost his head. In an earlier episode, a space chicken that Courage defeats and leaves featherless and headless in the pilot episode returns to replace its missing head by using Courage's head as a replacement. It only partially succeeds with its plan, taking Eustace's head instead. Although defeated, the head never returns to its original body (at least until the next episode), culminating with the appearance of a headless walking Eustace that scares Courage. Eustace loses his head again in "Mega Muriel the Magnificent" when Courage's computer temporarily takes over his body and accidentally hits a wall while running, causing Eustace to collapse part-by-part. His disembodied head then spends the remainder of the episode watching the possessed Muriel's death-defying stunts on TV, oblivious to the fact that he no longer has a body. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood: Dio Brando decapitates himself to avoid being killed by Jonathan's Hamon. He later steals Jonathan Joestar's body to replace his own. Battle Tendency: Wamuu briefly survives getting his head blown off, but Hamon already spread to it, so he dies not too long afterward. Stardust Crusaders: Vanilla Ice decapitates himself using his own Stand so he can offer his blood to Dio. Dio then uses his own blood to revive Ice, claiming "you don't need to die." Since Dio used his blood, Vanilla Ice becomes a vampire, making him unkillable until Polnareff exposes him to sunlight. Unfortunately for Ice, although he knew about the weakness, he didn't realize he was a vampire. Golden Wind: Bruno Buccellati uses his zipper-ability to unzip rival gangster Zucchero's head clean off, which the other team members then hang from a fish hook in an attempt to interrogate him. When Zucchero refuses to comply, they resort to the Torture Dance, while Zucchero's head dangles helplessly by his eyelid and is Forced to Watch. |

In Deathmoor, one of the monsters you can come across in the titular moor is a two-headed Cradoc, a reptilian beast with the head of a dragon and an ogre sharing the same body. After killing it, you'll need to sever one of its heads to finish it off for good, but choosing the wrong head note the dragon's will have the severed stump coming to life on its own and attacking you from behind, killing you instantly. For reasons unexplained however, the third and most obvious option, severing both heads, isn't available. | |

Child's Play: Near the end of Child's Play (1988), Chucky gets his head, arm and leg blown off by Karen. Santos, against Norris' caution, brings the head into the living room... But then the rest of Chucky's body busts out of a duct to strangle Santos as the head commands it on. Happens again in Curse of Chucky, but in a non-graphic manner (as though his body were just a normal doll). He is also able to get hold of the head and stick it back on. |

Ultra Series The Ultraseven monster Gabura was able to survive as a floating head after Seven chopped it off with his Eye Slugger, catching the hero by surprise. Fortunately for Seven, it turned out that the spaceship of the aliens commanding Gabura needed to be destroyed to kill the monster permanently. Ultraman Taro had Mukadender, who could detach its head from its body at will to fight as two combatants. The catch is that damage to Mukadendar’s head is still felt by its body and vice versa (same goes with actions such as being thrown into the air). Sakuna Oni from Ultraman Tiga pulled the same trick on Tiga that Gabura did to Seven as the only thing that can truly slay Sakuna Oni is the sword of the samurai who originally defeated it. |

The Patrick Star Show: Patrick can safely remove his head from his body, which gets used for a couple of jokes. In "The Patterfly Effect", Patrick's head detaches from his body. It runs wild around the house until Bunny calms it down with some breakfast. Squidina brings his head back into the kitchen while the body is trying to eat. In "Blorpsgiving", a wedding ceremony would involves both parties' heads being torn off their bodies to be refit into fancy clothes; harmless to Inga-Tron, but it would kill Quasar. Patrick, feeding popcorn into his severed head, casually comments, "I don't see what the big deal is." |

Alien: While not completely decapitated, Ash is able to operate with little more than a few wires keeping his head on his shoulders. Later, his head is successfully reactivated after it's been fully torn off from the body, save for a few connected wires. | |

Godzilla vs. Kong: The company APEX acquired King Ghidorah's severed left head. Although the head rotted away until nothing was left but a skull, it turns out it is still conscious when it absorbs enough energy to awaken and take control of MechaGodzilla. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants Man Ray's head is removable, as shown in his first appearance in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III" when he takes it off and gives it to SpongeBob when he literally can't show his face in Bikini Bottom anymore. When he later appears in "Shuffleboarding", he weaponizes this by throwing his head at SpongeBob while fighting him and Patrick at the laundromat, only for it to fly into a washer and shrink because it's dry clean only. In "Squid Noir", Patrick throws a rock at Squidward, thinking that he's being attacked by a monster when he's actually playing his clarinet. The rock pins Squidward's head to a wood mount on his wall, leaving him without a head. Patrick's head harmlessly popping off his body for whatever reason is something of a Running Gag in the show (especially in post-sequel era). For example, in "Escape from Beneath Glove World", when Patrick finds out that the Hieronymus Glove robot literally wants Patrick's head, Patrick nonchalantly removes his head from his shoulders and gives it to him. |

In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Samus has to deal with the Quads, four-legged sentry robots that are built so that their bodies and heads can function independently of each other - if the body is destroyed, the head simply detaches and continues shooting, zipping back and forth via levitation. This trait also applies to their massive boss counterpart, Quadraxis. | |

Mimir, of God of War (PS4). When Kratos and Atreus first meet him, he has been trapped in a tree for over a century by Odin. Since Mimir was Odin's advisor and ambassador to all nine realms, he has a wealth of knowledge about everything in them, and offers to share said knowledge with the pair in exchange for cutting off his head, and having the Witch in the Woods resurrect it. He spends the rest of the game dangling from Kratos' belt, acting as Mr. Exposition and occasionaly The Conscience. | |

Goblins in the Castle: Cutting off the head of the goblin king put the final seal on the spell that put all the goblins into dormancy, but the head itself is still alive, and it's reanimated when his spirit returns to it. Reversing this and reattaching his head to his body, by means of a magic collar, restores his sanity and that of the other goblins by extension. | |

Stardust Crusaders: Vanilla Ice decapitates himself using his own Stand so he can offer his blood to Dio. Dio then uses his own blood to revive Ice, claiming "you don't need to die." Since Dio used his blood, Vanilla Ice becomes a vampire, making him unkillable until Polnareff exposes him to sunlight. Unfortunately for Ice, although he knew about the weakness, he didn't realize he was a vampire. | |

Doctor Who: "Rose": The Doctor rips off the head of Mickey's Auton duplicate. In response: The Face of Boe qualifies. Given who he is (Captain Jack Harkness), one wonders what happened to all the other bits and how the head part wound up so large. This seems to be a general trade mark of Russell T Davies-written episodes of the show. As well as the above, there are the Toclafane (severed heads in floating heavily-armed metal spheres), Max Capricorn in "Voyage of the Damned", and also, if you include disembodied faces, Lady Cassandra and poor Ursula. "The Pandorica Opens" demonstrates Cybermen can survive decapitation, then reattach their heads. The Headless Monks sometimes do this, keeping living heads around post-decapitation. Since the Monks behead you while you're alive, both the head and the body remain... active. The bodies seem to fall under the control of the other Monks (or possibly the papal mainframe) immediately after beheading. The heads apparently keep the same personality and are left to rot (or be preserved in boxes, if you're rich). "The Husbands of River Song" has two characters losing their heads to the independently-functioning robot body of the tyrannical cyborg King Hydroflax when the Doctor and River Song make off with the monarch's head, which apparently underwent this trope many years ago. The heads remain alive as the body uses them to get information about the heroes' whereabouts; it can even store and switch between them. Later, another villain convinces the body not to take his head by offering to get him the Doctor's... |

In an second season (yes, there was one) episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Mark Lenard, Sarek from Star Trek: The Original Series, played an ambassador from a planet where a symbiotic relationship existed between his kind, a living head, and a type of organism that resembled a headless body. He even points out to Buck that on his world, Buck would be considered a freak since Buck could not remove his head. | |

Wukong answers the Deer Demon's challenge, and as magical beings both of them can survive losing their heads and continue moving around unscathed... until Wukong sneakily turns one of his clones into a dog and steals the Deer Demon's head. With the head out of range, the demon quickly dies. | |

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit demonstrates the ability to attach and detach his head at will, with no justification other than the Rule of Funny. It is unclear how well he can function headless, as in two cases, his head doesn't get very far, and in the third, he's reassembled by outside means. A post-Disney short indicates that other characters in the setting can do this too. | |

The Monkey Island franchise is fond of this trope. In The Secret of Monkey Island, your guide through the Bloody Bowels of Hell is the preserved head of a navigator with an unerring sense of direction — the rest of his body was eaten by the Monkey Island cannibals. Big Bad LeChuck's undead first mate Bob is a skeletal ghost whose skull is constantly tipping off his spine — he misses the Wedding Finale when he drops it into the sea of lava in which their Ghost Ship is anchored. Murray the Mighty Demonic Skull in The Curse of Monkey Island. Justified in that he was actually dead and re-animated by spooky voodoo magic well before he became a disembodied skull. Originally intended to be a One-Scene Wonder who only appeared in the prologue, his appearance in the demo proved so popular with fans that the devs hurried to ensure he popped up a few more times in Curse (he's the only character other than Guybrush, Elaine (technically), and LeChuck to appear in every chapter), made a cameo in Escape from Monkey Island, and even popped up again in one episode of Tales of Monkey Island. |

Dan's talking skull rants insanely from atop the kitchen spice rack, whereas his body — no longer subordinated to his wicked mind — has become perfectly polite and helpful, cooking meals for Margle's kobold housekeeper and her friends among Margle's many transformed captives.

Waspinator in Beast Wars, several times. In fact, numerous characters, primarily Predacons, end up in pieces, including an intact head. Silverbolt is the only Maximal who suffered this indignity while serving as a Maximal. | |

Njal's Saga: Kari, intent on revenge for the death of his son in the Burning of Njal, pursues the Burners on their voyage to Rome and catches up with them in Wales. He spots Kol Thorsteinsson, one of the Burners, selling goods at a market; Kari strikes at him just as Kol is counting silver, and "Kol kept on counting the silver, and his head counted 'ten' as it flew from the trunk." | |

The Mighty Night Dragon from, uh, Night Dragon. Upon being defeated (in a long, exhausting, difficult battle), the dragon then finally goes down... but not before its head detaches itself, grows legs, and continues fighting. | |

In Curse of the Headless Horseman, the eponymous horseman carries a head(possibly his) with him. At the end of the movie, the Horseman can be heard laughing, so presumably it is still capable of some form of communication. | |

The What If…? (2021) episode "What If... Zombies?!" has this happen to Scott Lang. Since Hank Pym's attempt to save Janet van Dyne from the Quantum Realm ended with Janet becoming Patient Zero to a Zombie Apocalypse in this universe, Hope assumed that Scott had died with the others. Until the group makes it to Vision's stronghold and discover he made a cure for the zombie plague; while reduced to a head in a jar, Scott is alive and well thanks to cure testing. He even takes the time to make a lot of head puns at his situation. | |

Page image Victor Manchas of Runaways (Rainbow Rowell) is a cyborg who does just fine as a head: after he is seemingly killed by Vision and his wife, his head is sent to his friends in a box by Tony Stark, where his friend Chase eventually manages to reawaken him. Having been created as a weapon by Ultron, Victor notably wants to remain a disembodied head: as he believes he can no longer hurt people in his state and is visibly traumatized when Doombot installs him onto a weaponized robot body. He instead prefers roombas and quadcopters as transportation. He eventually gets over it and grows a new body just by thinking about it. | |

Probably the single most infamous comic from Sexy Losers involved Shiunji, a necrophiliac, a corpse whose head fell off, and what he did to its neck. The comic's subtitle read "I am certain that at some point in the future, I will be prosecuted for this comic in a court of law." | |

In Fengshen Yanyi, Shen Gongbao tries to bully Jiang Ziya into not helping Xiqi and carry out the selection of the new gods and tries to prove his superiority in the arts of the Immortals by cutting off his own head and make it float above his body, impressing Jiang Ziya into almost surrendering. Unfortunately for Gongbao, the Elder Immortal of the South Pole was nearby and sends his disciple in the form of a crane to steal Shen Gongbao's head and drop it into the North Sea, an act which will result in him dying for real. Jiang Ziya is merciful enough to beg for his old friend, who gets his head back (with the text mentioning that he accidentally put it on backwards and had to twist it by the ears). | |

In many of the Revelation Space Series novels, space suits are designed to deliberately decapitate and then freeze the user's head in the event of an emergency (such as a suit breach). Once the head is recovered, they can be reattached to the body or even have their whole body regrown from the neck down, though in at least one novel a character opts to have his head installed on a prosthetic body and is pretty much none the worse for wear. | |

Athyrmagaia has the Athyrmatherians, alien creatures which resemble familiar Earth animals like lions, gazelles and wildebeest: except that the head, thorax, abdomen and rump of each Athyrmatherian is a separate animal of its own, having metamorphosed from four separate sibling larvae that then proceeded to unite at adulthood. As such, heads can detach from the bodies and survive for a while separated: which becomes a tactic of a predator group called headhunters that finish their prey by detaching the head zooid and devouring the still-living head, before moving onto the incapacitated body. | |

The Deadlands incarnation of Joaquin Murrieta died. He came back. Then, he got beheaded. Now, his (understandably insane) body's looking for his head, and is more than happy to "borrow" yours until he finds it. The best part? Undead Joachin Murrieta can only be stopped if you destroy his head. Happy hunting! In Deadlands in general, this is what happens when you decapitate a Harrowed. The head is unfazed by the loss of the body and stays fully conscious, but helpless because of not having any arms or legs. A Harrowed can recover from this condition if someone kindly sews the head back on and feeds them some meat. |

Some zombies in Doom³ have lost their heads, leaving only the lower jaw and below still attached. The game code even refers to them as "neckstump". The lack of head or brain does not hinder them in the slightest, which makes sense, and they can even make the same grunts and moans as zombies with heads. This only affects civilian zombies, however - Z-secs, zombified security forces and marines that wield weapons and behave like actual humans in a firefight, are unaffected. | |

In Primal, the Wraith can apparently survive being decapitated. A group of severed heads in Raum's torture chamber (all of whom hate each other) eventually take time out from arguing to help the PCs. One, however, calls the guards, simply to antagonize the rest. Other severed heads are scattered almost randomly throughout the upper mansion, giving comments, advice, and encouragement. One somehow knows Scree's name. |

He draws a map into the sand and is counting out the river bends to his companion as Perucho approaches quietly from behind with a machete. When the man is at 'nine', Perucho swipes his head off, and we get a shot of the head lying on the ground, counting 'ten'. | |

Played with regarding the beings known as the Headless from the Ultima series. They are indeed quite headless and uninhibited by being such, but they are not some undead creature that originally suffered decapitation; they also have no place on their torso where a head would normally go, with only an empty patch of skin between their shoulders. It's a mystery even in-universe as to how they get around and make such dangerous enemies without any evident sensory organs. | |

In GURPS 3rd Edition, one of the supplements full of fantasy magic spells had a spell called Decapitate, which did exactly what its name says. Not only that, both the head and body were still alive, and since the head was still magically able to speak, if it knew any spells, it could still cast them! Of course, without the head, the body could not eat or drink, and would eventually die of dehydration or starvation. But this was not a problem either! Another spell allowed you to turn everything BUT the head into stone... and THEN you could decapitate him. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Invoked in class 3-A's Haunted House in the Mahora Festival, where Akira, the guide in the school themed haunted house, appeared to get decapitated and her head told Negi to run away. She's actually just lying on the ground with a cover that matches the floor tiles camouflaging the rest of her body, but Negi was too freaked out to notice. In the backstory, Tertium did this to Secundum after Secundum "rewrote" Shiori's older sister, effectively erasing the poor girl out of existence. |

Another cutaway in the episode "Hefty Shades of Gray" shows what it was like for Chris to get off sugar; when Peter asks him for the syrup at breakfast, Chris violently rips off his head in response. Meg laughs at Peter in this state, and in retaliation, he commands his body to throw mashed potatoes at her. At the end of the episode, Lois also rips Peter's head off when he tells her that the Griffins are joining the Trump administration. |

Dragon Ball Z: After Vegeta decapitates Guldo, Guldo's head survives long enough to yell at Vegeta before getting vaporized altogether. Similarly, Doctor Gero (a cyborg) is still able to rant after Android 17 decapitates him. 17 fixes this by stomping on Gero's head. Happens to Android 16 (who, unlike other "androids", is 100% mechanical) after he gets blown to bits in the Cell arc. After his Final Speech, Cell steps on the head and destroys it. Which makes Gohan go BATSHIT on Cell. When Majin Buu punches Babidi's head to mush, his body continues to move until Buu vaporizes it. Majin Buu has his head blasted off during the fight against Kid Buu (having been removed from Kid Buu's system). It's easily reformed from his body, however, since he can regenerate from almost every wound. |

In one Deadpool comic, Wolverine cuts Deadpool's head off and comments that even with regeneration, he may still die from it, unless his head get reattached soon afterwards. It does, and Deadpool himself comments that his mouth is dry and that he hadn't spoken for a while. Later comics feature Zombie-Deadpool a.k.a. "Headpool", reduced to nothing but a hungry head. Like other zombies, he's compelled to eat but doesn't need to (not like it matters). | |

Transformers: Megatron, Bulkhead, Sentinel Prime, Starscream and Waspinator have all suffered from this in Transformers: Animated. As does Optimus Prime in Transformers: Generation 1. Unicron gets reduced to a head after his body is blown up, and he's incredibly dangerous whenever he regains consciousness. All of the Headmasters have this as their backstory. (To summarize, the future Headmasters were a subgroup of Autobot pacifists called the Nebulans who were sickened by the conflict, and as a result had little trust for any other resident of Cybertron. to gain trust, five Autobots removed their heads and offered them to the Nebulans to earn trust. Later, the Nebulans could no longer avoid the war, but were still unwilling to trust the headless Autobots enough to reassemble them, so as compromise, they used special technology on five of their own, so they could become the heads, working with the five Autobots in a symbiotic bond. Each Nebulon controls the body, while its partner's true head — which is hidden somewhere — maintains telepathic communication while providing fighting skills and advice. Unfortunately, it isn't long before the Decepticons learn how to do this too.) Also, Arcee becomes a "new" Headmaster in the finale of the series, the same deal as the others. Waspinator in Beast Wars, several times. In fact, numerous characters, primarily Predacons, end up in pieces, including an intact head. Silverbolt is the only Maximal who suffered this indignity while serving as a Maximal. |

Tormented (1960): Although the deceased girlfriend was not beheaded or otherwise dismembered, she can send selected bits of herself to vex her unfaithful beau. Her detached head is quite sarcastic. | |

At the end of Death Becomes Her, which flashes forward to the funeral of Ernest, Helen and Madeline trip and fall on the front steps as they leave. Because the serum not only prevented them from aging, but dying as well, and they were so badly disintegrated by this time, they end up breaking apart when they hit the bottom, their heads still functioning. | |

Fear & Hunger: Nas'hrah lost his body a long time ago. He's still perfectly capable of advanced magic even as a floating head, and is notably the only party member that can never die for good. | |

Happens to Data a few times in Star Trek: The Next Generation; as an android, he can survive his head being removed and can still talk in that event. Some examples: In the Time Travel episode "Time's Arrow", his head doesn't remain active while disconnected from his body, but it does survive under San Francisco for five hundred years, and when reconnected to his body (which was blown back through the time portal into the 24th century, thus not taking The Slow Path), it works fine. In "Disaster", Data offers to use himself to absorb an electric current, allowing Riker to pass, which will cripple him, but should leave him repairable later on. Riker points out to him that even if he's willing to sacrifice Data (which he isn't), it would be pointless, as Riker wouldn't be able to fix the Warp Core without him as he's not an engineer. Instead, they disconnect Data's head and toss his headless body into the current, diverting it, but allowing Riker to take Data's head along so he can talk him through the necessary repairs. In the Expanded Universe novel Imzadi, a decapitated Data is still in control of his body. |
