Overview of the Ensouled Chaos Druid Head
The Ensouled Chaos Druid Head is a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), prized for its utility in training the Summoning skill and for its role in various PvE activities. When using this head, players can summon an ensouled chaos druid, which offers a variety of rewards upon defeat.

To acquire the Ensouled Chaos Druid Head, players must defeat chaos druids. These creatures are commonly found in several locations, including:

Using the Ensouled Chaos Druid Head
Once a player has obtained the Ensouled Chaos Druid Head, they can use it on a golden altar to summon the ensouled chaos druid. This process requires:

These items can be sold for profit or used in various crafting and potion-making activities, making the ensouled chaos druid a valuable target.
