Shrunken heads, also known as Voodoo Heads, are the unique item for Necromancers in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. They do not offer as much in terms of defense as shields, but they usually have magic attributes.
Shrunken Heads can have 1-3 bonuses of +1-3 to Necromancer Skill Levels and can only be equipped by Necromancers. You normally hold Shrunken Heads in the off-hand slot like shields, together with a Wand, Dagger or another one-handed weapon. You cannot hold two Shrunken Heads at the same time on the same weapon tab.
In Diablo III, some Witch Doctor Mojos have the form of shrunken heads, but do not have the shield-like statistics or Necromancer-focused bonuses of the Diablo II type. Necromancers of the later game wield Phylacteries as their class-specific off-hand item instead.
Auto Mods[]
Auto Mods are mods that "automatically" show up on all versions of an item, whether it's magical, normal, damaged, or rare. One Auto Mod from a given group is chosen for the item based on a random number and the level of the item (and the requirements of the Auto Mod). Many Class-specific items contain Auto Mods while others contain spell/skill bonuses.
