Neck Valheim 1.0.20
The Neck is a creature in Valheim 1.0.20 with 5 health, found in the Meadows. It belongs to the forest monsters faction.
The Neck is a non-boss creature of the forest monsters faction. It lives in the Meadows and is active both day and night. Necks spawn in groups of 2 to 4, at levels 1 to 3. They appear at altitudes from -1.5 to 0.5 m, and also at any altitude up to 10 m.
A Neck has 5 health, so it cannot take much. Its only attack is a horizontal BiteAttack that deals 6 damage to a body, with a range of 1.7. Its walk speed and run speed are both 5.
Fire is its weakness, and it resists poison. It is immune to chop, pickaxe and spirit damage.
When killed, a Neck drops 1 Neck Tail with a 70 percent chance, and 1 Neck Trophy with a 5 percent chance.
