Headless Men

Headless Men
"Death cannot strike fear into those who are already dead."

Headless Men are a unique berserker unit for the Blemmyes faction.

Unit Information
Headless Men are very vulnerable to missiles due to their nearly-nonexistent armor. They're as fast as Outrunners and have a devastating charge - if they can get in close, they'll decimate nearly any other infantry unit.

History
Historically, the Blemmyes specifically were not associated with headless monsters until Pliny the Elder mentioned them in his Naturalis Historia, though there were myths of acephalous.monsters to the east of Libya before him. One must wonder if the actual Blemmyes be pleased or angered by such an association - many peoples make use of terrifying stories about themselves to unnerve their enemies!
