Death's Head has all the same abilities as a regular bone colossus, except for one unique ability.

Strike
A basic melee attack that does moderate physical damage.
Wake the Dead
Death's Head summons three to four Risen Dead to attack the player. These are tougher than most found elsewhere in the game.
Slash
The Risen Dead swipe at the player doing minor physical damage.
Necromantic Implosion
After a while the Risen Dead will explode if not killed, doing moderate physical damage around themselves as indicated by a red circle.
Bone Saw
The bone colossus stomps its foot, doing high physical damage in a cone in front of it and staggering those hit.
Necromantic Stampede
Death's Head rears back before taking off running forward, causing very high physical damage and knocking down players caught in its path. Necromantic AoEs are placed along the path it took, causing high magical damage to anyone standing in them. They wear off soon after.
