Shithead

"Shithead" is an undead bird that terrorized Fresh Cut Grass before Campaign 3, so named by Fresh Cut Grass because "it shits on my head whenever it sees me".

Description
The bird is large, mangy, and greasy, and it is missing some of its feathers in patches. It has a long, hooked, scarred beak and a cloudy eye. It is described as an "awkward" creature. Shithead is undead. It is of an unidentified type of scavenging bird, such as a vulture, but it is not a hawk.

It has a "horrifying" cry and makes guttural calls. When spoken to using Speak with Animals, its voice sounds like that of a heavy smoker.

Fresh Cut Grass, who is terrified of him, described it as having "hate in his eyes". He has no particular reason for targeting Fresh Cut Grass, simply feeling that Fresh Cut Grass has "something" about them that compels Shithead to want to ruin their life.

Before Campaign 3
The bird was apparently living in Bassuras in the Hellcatch Valley region of Marquet in 843 PD, shortly before Campaign 3. Fresh Cut Grass claimed that it chased him around at all hours of the day, and he named the bird "Shithead" because "it shits on my head whenever it sees me". He eventually believed that the bird hated him and wanted him dead or humiliated. This led to Fresh Cut Grass developing a general dislike of and anxiety around all birds, which Ashton Greymoore was aware of.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
During a night watch in Bassuras, Fresh Cut Grass grew anxious about a hawk roosting nearby. They woke Chetney Pock O'Pea to investigate and confided in him about Shithead. Chetney urged them to share this with the rest of Bells Hells, believing the group would empathize. Still, he agreed not to tell anyone else and promised to protect Fresh Cut Grass from Shithead. Fresh Cut Grass later feared that Shithead followed them while traveling to Jrusar by skyship. They also found Pâté de Rolo's new winged familiar form creepy and unsettling because it reminded them of Shithead.

When the party arrived at the Aydinlan Seminary in Yios, Shithead was on the roof directly above the main entrance. Noticing Fresh Cut Grass, it swooped down to attack him.
