These effects have a chance to either be removed immediately upon contracting them or every turn that the player has them for.

Creatures with two heads cannot be killed by decapitation so long as at least one of their heads remain. Rather than dying, creatures will [[Bleeding|bleed]] profusely when one of their heads is severed. If both heads are severed, the creature will [[Instant death|instantly die]].
If a creature with this mutation is affected by any of these status effects, there is a (5 + Level)% chance each turn for it to be removed.

Two-headed is a physical mutation that grants the player an extra head.

The extra head granted by this mutation has an equip-able slot as a normal head does, as well as granting an additional face slot. However, ♦AV and ○DV values granted by helmets and masks will be averaged across the two heads, meaning the player will have to wear two equipment pieces of the same type in order to gain the same ♦AV and ○DV as normal. This does not affect Attribute bonuses granted by equipment, such as the Ego granted by wearing a knollworm skull.

Two Headed reduces the action cost of mental actions, such as using a mental mutation, by a mutation level based percentage. Additionally, it grants the player a mutation level based chance to "shake off" a mental status effect. Such effects include: confused, shaken, disoriented, stunned, and asleep. These effects have a chance to either be removed immediately upon contracting them or every turn that the player has them for.

Creatures with two heads cannot be killed by decapitation so long as at least one of their heads remain. Rather than dying, creatures will bleed profusely when one of their heads is severed. If both heads are severed, the creature will instantly die.
