If I am not wrong, you will only get the ghoulhead if your hero does not know about collecting the claw.

Anyway, the Guild Hall will take the head off your hands.

Knowing about the claws doesn't stop you from picking up the head.

Without giving too much away, it's used somewhere in the game involving severed monster heads...

But soule already gave it away :p The head could have made for a nice bowling minigame though

I've played through the game now 4 times. I have found just about all of the extras in the game (well, at least I think I have; time will tell), except I have not yet ever been able to get a ghoul head. I've killed scores of them, so it's not from lack of trying. Two previous posters seem to disagree about whether you can get a ghoul head after you've spoken to the alchemist about ghoul claws. Can anyone positively confirm that you can loot a ghoul head after being told about looting the claws? That's about the only theory I can come up with. (I have even been trying to finish the ghouls off with different combat techniques, just to see if one of them lops off the head; so far, no luck.)

I can confirm that you can get the ghoul head after you know about the claws. It all depends on how the ghoul 'dies', as there are two ways. If he shatters into pieces, you can't get the head, but you can get the claws. If his body falls in one piece, his head will fall beside him, then you can pick it up, as well as get his claws. So far I haven't seen a pattern to it. I think it's random which way he will fall.

Yes, I can positively confirm it.

On my fighter, first ghoul I killed, I looted the claws on the first click, the head on the second click.

I'm pretty sure it only happens if you're a natural fighter class and haven't already gotten a head.

My thief was able to loot a head and turn it in to Uhura.

My pure fighter originally got several claws (and sold them). Then once or twice the body shattered and I wasn't able to get anything (despite frantic clicking all over the place). I thought that maybe I hit the ghoul too hard at the end so I started just stabbing him to kill him and he just fell and I was able to get the head. I don't know if any of this is related to how he falls and what you can get but that was my experience.

Erpy, care to contribute? Is how you hit him at the end related to what you get? Or is it how you fight him throughout the battle?

How a ghoul dies is somewhat random. You should always be able to pick the claws, as long as the hero has spoken to Harik about components. If the head fell off, you can get that too, but only after you've visited the guild hall once. (and seeing that there were heads on display, but there was no ghoul's head there yet) Oh, and any class can pick it and then give the head to Uhura.
