Let's go to the other side of the world from the Wendigo to China, home of the Xing-tian.
The Xing-tian appears as an ogre with no head. Inspection reveals that if it had a head it had been cut off and healed; where the neck would be is a mass a scar tissue. It has “eyes” where it’s nipple would be and a “mouth” over it’s navel, but these appear only to be markings. The xing-tian can’t see, hear, eat, breathe, call out or communicate. It is typically armed with a shield in one hand and an a large axe in the other. It can feel the vibrations of people nearby. They attack everything, including other xing-tian, and they always fight to the death. When not fighting it can be found destroying anything in its path.
Xing-tian are literally about mindless destruction. They attack anyone in their path and if no one is around they attack trees, rocks and animals. They also represent a never-say-die spirit.

Did it re-grow eyes and a mouth after decapitation, or did it cheat and have them as a back-up all along? I feel that should determine how much street rep it gets.

I't just drew the eyes and mouth on it's torso. They don't work at all. ;)
