Beheaded Form

When created, a death's head takes one of three forms: Aberrant Head, Gnashing Head, or Petrifying Head. This form determines the creature's attack.

Unusual Nature

The death's head doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Moreover, on its next turn, the target must choose whether it gets a move, an action, or a bonus action; it gets only one of the three.
