A gladiator wielding a weapon (or their own natural claws), when fighting a severely wounded foe, has a chance to swiftly lop off their head in a showy display of prowess. Certain powerful mobiles, or those who are particularly wary will not be able to be decapitated. Naturally, a gladiator who seeks to show mercy to their opponents will not attempt to remove anyone's heads.

A decapitated corpse obviously cannot have its head trophied.

Druids in sharkform will also benefit from this skill; rather than using a weapon, they'll use their gigantic shark teeth.
