Two-Headed Creature

'Two-Headed Creature' is a pattern that can be added to any creature that has two heads. This generally works best on creatures that actually HAVE a head, of course, although it certainly can be applied to any creature regardless of anatomy to provide an interesting challenge. Oozes, ghosts, and swarms with Two-Heads can provide an interesting change of pace, and as always, the referree is encouraged to be creative.
