Types of Heads
Boar Head
Boar heads come from boars, they can only be found in the top part of the map. They are a hostile animal though can be killed with one hit from a thrown weak spear.
Crocodile Head
Crocodile heads come from crocodiles, they have be found around the river, but not the entire river. These animals are extremely aggressive and they will kill a player very quickly. They can also swim, and they will chase players under water to get you. Keep in mind if you kill a crocodile under water, chances are limited that you will be able to obtain the head.
Deer Head
Deer heads come from deer, these animals can be found around most areas of the map. They can be tricky to kill as they are easily startled. Spears are usually quick enough to stagger them again before they run off, thus saving the player the need a long chase.
Goose Head
Goose heads come from geese, they are the most difficult animals in the game to kill, primarily because they are nomadic and either on water or flying. If they are killed on water they will sink to the bottom and it can be nigh impossible to push it onto land. You cannot collect the goose head if it is under water. If you are good at aiming with a bow, you can take it down whilst it is flying.
Lizard Head
Lizard Heads come from lizards, they are fairly easy to find and kill.
Older version of the lizard head, was updated in v0.68
Rabbit Head
Rabbit heads come from rabbits, they are fairly tricky to kill though they are common. It is unknown if the white rabbits yield a white rabbit head.
Raccoon Head
Racoon heads come from Raccoons, they can be tricky to find as they usually only go out at night, though they can be seen during the day.
Seagull Head
Seagulls can be found in most places along the shoreline. It is easiest to kill them when they landed.
Shark Head
Shark heads come from dead sharks. You cannot get a shark head from a live shark. Live sharks don't have anything on or in them.
Squirrel Head
Tortoise Head
Tortoise Heads are also obtained from turtles, The Forest does not have turtle heads in the game.
