Well, they have one flaw. They are headless, yet they have a 'head' hit location.

Thus they cant wear helmets, but they are still vulnerable to the hits to their unprotected head they dont have.

Maybe that represent stabbing down the neck of the armor?

The Ivy King has 0 encumbrance so you can just equip it with marble armor to give the head some protection.

No head slot - no head that could be hit (at least for some monsters).
Start a game as EA Agartha, and give a black steel plate to a Trog Lord. Total protection will be the same as body prot regardless of the lack of helmet.

Has CBM made certain summons a lot better now? I can think of drakes/wyverns + master. Perhaps that upgraded treelord as well?

Sort-of related to one of my complaints... how vine ogres are mindless, yet can receive the affliction feebleminded. It's the same as a naturally blind unit losing an eye and still suffering the penalty.
