Halloween Skull
| “ | Emergency PSA!
Reports of...'otherworldly' happenings in the caves are coming in. Miners are reporting sightings of flying, shrieking skulls - no doubt a mass hallucination - and Management is having none of it! If you spot any of these alleged 'flying skulls', terminate them with extreme prejudice and bring back proof - do so, and you will receive a DOUBLE MISSION PERFORMANCE POINT BONUS for the mission!

| — Mission Control |
The Halloween Skull is a special creature found only during the Halloween event. When defeated and deposited, it grants players a 
Performance Points multiplier, doubling the Performance Points received upon mission completion.
The Halloween Skull is a large floating skull, with a low green light emanating from its eye sockets. The Halloween Skull has a small green flame on its scalp, and is constantly surrounded by small cloud of green gas. When disturbed the skull will flee from the player, similarly to a Fester Flea. The Halloween skull also posses a chilling aura, quickly cooling creatures close to it.
When fleeing the Halloween Skull leaves a trail of green flames behind. Additionally when hit it releases a cloud of purple sparks.
