Trivia

Pre-release Hornless Husk Hornhead
- In a Kickstarter update, it was referred to as "Endemons Sapien (Infected)":
- These vicious, mindless ghouls were once ordinary bugs like you and me. Something below the surface has burnt away their souls and filled them with an aimless rage.[2]
- In the pre-release A Weird and Wonderful World trailer, a Husk Hornhead is shown without its horn.
- A modified version of this original design is used as one of the forms of the Fungified Husk.
