Background : When he was alive, Mr.Marrow was one creepy centaur that was at first thought of as harmless; he just liked collecting bones! Specifically, skulls. But the older he got, the more obsessive he became. He starts turning some heads of his won when he starts going to funerals and asking if he could have the deceased’s skulls! The bone obsessed centaur finds himself in trouble with the mayor of Cozy Hollow, and threatened to be kicked out of the village if he keeps it up. But Mr.Marrow there wants more and more skulls until finally, he just can’t take it anymore! He attacks the mayor with his trusty axe and cuts off his head to steal. Unfortunately, the mayor wasn’t too happy with what Mr.Marrow had done. He hops his head out of Mr.Marrow’s window and rats the crazed centaur out. He’s arrested for the killing and sent to the guillotine as an ironic punishment.
When the village thought he was dead and gone, something strange began to happen at night. The villagers start to spot a dark figure running about at night, but soon they feared the figure as it began to pick them off one by one, stealing only their heads and using them as ammo to fight. It didn’t take the village long to find out that Mr.Marrow was back, undead, and furious.
Nobody could stop the Horsemen, anyone that tried were put in place by his deadly aim! The villagers summoned Eon and the Skylanders to help with their haunting phantom, but because he had such good aim, Eon offers him a spot on the Skylander team. As long as he promised to stop killing people and taking their heads, instead he could take the heads of the bad guys that try to take over Skylands. The phantom eagerly agrees, and takes on the nickname “Headshot”.
Personality : Spastic, high energy, obsessive, and naive. Headshot is surprisingly friendly as long as you don’t try to take his skull collection! Almost seen as the Freakazoid of the Skylander realm, Headshot is always in high spirits and looking for skulls to add to his collection. He can even be friendly to villains if they have a nice enough bone structure. He’s naive in the sense that he has no personal space, manners, and has absolutely no idea what romance is. Let alone ANYTHING about it, as well as most things that don’t have anything to do with bones. He’s a man with a one tract mind, but will defend those he’s grown close to. As happy of a character he may seem to be, there is a dark side to Headshot. When triggered, Headshot turns dangerously serious and downright murderous, taking on a dark deep voice and his trusty axes that he once used to behead his fellow villagers. Most Skylanders learned to never tempt Headshot, so there has yet to be an incident.
Attacks : Headshot’s main attack is flinging skulls at his enemies. He keeps a healthy collection in his empty chest cavity, pulling them out from the empty space in his neck. But if he’s enraged, he pulls out his double axes and gets down to business!
Trivia :
- Headshot loves sugar cubes, especially if they’re skull shaped! (Idea by LizzyDoodle)
- Headshot sometimes likes to prank the other Skylanders and villains by leaving his head in random places and scaring them.
- His favorite skull at the moment is actually Havok’s; he constantly tries to touch his horns and get him to let Headshot have his skull when he dies. Havok in return is uncomfortable around Headshot and avoids him at all costs.
Credits :
Headshot was first inspired by the song “Where’s Your Head At” when it played on my Pandora list. I got to thinking about the Headless Horseman legend, and thought how unique it would be for a character to be a mix of both the Headless Horseman AND his own horse! I’ve always liked centaurs, but have so much trouble drawing horses I rarely draw them. But I combined the two, thought of some quarks, brainstormed with A7XSparx and LizzyDoodle, and BAM Headshot came into being.
- Headshot’s main inspiration was Tim Burton’s take on the legend in the movie “Sleepy Hollow”, where Christopher Walken played the Headless Horseman. Headshot was modeled after Walken’s character design, as seen here.
- Headshot’s clothing was colored by A7XSparx, but both her and Lizzy helped with his final design and personality choices.
- Mr.Marrow’s living form was a mix between the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane.
