Shrunken Heads

From Diablo Wiki

Shrunken 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 effects.

Shrunken Heads can have 1-3 bonuses of +1-3 to Necromancer Skill Levels and can only be equiped by Necromancers. You normally hold Shrunken Heads like shields with a Wand, Dagger or another weapon. You cannot hold two Shrunken Heads at the same time on the same weapon tab.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Trivia

The majority of the heads are named after monsters in the game, suggesting that they may actually be the severed heads of said monsters.
