The stinkiest thing I'll smell all day.

Merm Heads are decorative structures usually found around Pig Villages. They are severed Merm heads on sticks stuck in the ground, similar to Pig Heads. Destroying one with a Hammer drops 2 Fish and 2 Twigs.

During a Full Moon in the Reign of Giants DLC, Merm Heads will open their eyes. The eyes glow during this time. The heads will generate an insanity aura and drop Nightmare Fuel when destroyed.

The Merm Head during a Full Moon in Reign of Giants

  • Merm Heads can be found around the Pig Villages, while Pig Heads can be found around the Merm camps. This might symbolize the war between Pigs and Merms.
  • When Wolfgang examines a Merm Head, he says, "What a handsome devil!", which is identical to what Wilson says about a Meat Effigy.
  • More often than not, you will get Rot instead of Fish when breaking Merm Heads, specifically if it is not within the first day or two. This is because upon World Generation, the fish begins rotting, resulting in Spoiled Fish or Rot being retrieved from the Merm Head.
