Staff Head
Staff Head is Lord Fear's loyal servant and apparently only friend, also doubling as a weapon and a walking stalk. Staff Head is fanatically loyal to Lord Fear and resembles a fat winged toad perched on a bone-shaped stick carrying a glass orb in his hands. He can fire energy blasts from this orb during battle. His stiff wooden body can also move about like a snake's, although this ability to removed in Season 2, when Staff Head's physical appearance is altered to look for realistic.
Staff Head is a rather proud person and something of a boot-licker to Lord Fear who usually agrees with him but does occasionally snap at Staff Head when angry. Staff Head seems to look down at the rest of the villains and also seems to have a hatred for Lady Illusion. He often insults Duff Kent and Dirty Rat, who are usually the primary targets of Lord Fear's rage. Staff Head apparently has a cousin named Benny, who he compares to a tree branch when in a forest.
Staff Head arrives on Earth with Lord Fear and his small band of villains, Staff Head tripping up Ace so Lord Fear can wound him. Staff Head immediately expressed signs of superiority to Duff upon first meeting, which led to him making empty threats to Duff (e.g. "Speak to Lord Fear only when spoken to, understood?"). Staff Head's role was limited in the first season, often being in "sleep mode" where he didn't seem to be alive, only as a figurehead on Lord Fear's staff. Staff Head eventually learnt about Lady Illusion's affair with Ace Lightning when he spotted her kissing a frozen Ace. He revealed he knew of it and blackmailed Lady Illusion into doing his dirty work, otherwise he'd spill to Lord Fear. Lady Illusion had no choice but to comply. On Fear's day of triumph, Lady Illusion got so agitated with Staff Head that she strangled him right in front of Lord Fear who didn't seem particularly bothered. Staff Head was the first of the villains to die when Mark located and destroyed the Amulet.
His role was initially the same as Season 2, although he had many more appearances and often encouraged Lord Fear to torture Lady Illusion, despite the fact Lord Fear seemed to not wish to at times. Staff Head fled with Lord Fear and Dirty Rat at the end of Season 2 after he wounded and killed Lady Illusion. In the cancelled Season 3, he was to hide out with Lord Fear, Dirty Rat and Mr. Cheseborough, who was to help Lord Fear release his minions without use of the Amulet.

Famous quotes containing the words staff and/or head:
“Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in his shepherd s bag, in the pouch; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 17:40.
“All men are partially buried in the grave of custom, and of some we see only the crown of the head above ground. Better are the physically dead, for they more lively rot. Even virtue is no longer such if it be stagnant. A man’s life should be constantly as fresh as this river. It should be the same channel, but a new water every instant.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
