A human skull, extracted from a corpse.
Acquisition
Skulls can only be extracted with the Ideology DLC, and only pawns with the Skullspike: Desired
precept in their ideoligion can extract skulls. This is done by designating corpses with the "extract skull" designator". It takes 180 ticks (3 secs) of work to extract a skull. This destroys head and reduces the amount of meat and leather extracted from the corpse. Blood will be created from non-skeletal corpses when extracting a skull. It is unknown whether skull extraction reduces the market value extracted from the corpse by a greater amount than is gained from the skull.
Skulls can also be carried by pawns with the psychopath trait as a starting possession.
Summary
Skulls retain the name of the person they were extracted from. Their main purpose is for building skullspikes.
Skulls can be consumed by harbinger trees
