Split Skulls are mutilated animals invested with a spark of the Star Gods. They are horrible to look at, smell, and hear. Each animal is usually slightly larger than what it should be, and usually has two disgusting aspects. The first is the skin of the animal is missing, with the odd little bit left as if it had been ripped off. This leaves the animal with a slick bloody mess of muscles, gristle, and bone. The second is that it's head is able to separate in half, as if it's head has been sawn down the middle from its nose to the back of its skull. It uses this to 'bite' when in combat. The animal sounds as if in constant pain. Also the smell of each is of blood and bodily fluids making even the stench of one horrific to behold.   The Star Spawn and cults will use these as guard animals, and a source of food. Sometimes they will be sacrificed to the god of a cult as an offering, and then the remains ate, as a sigh of devotion.
