Dr. Lorca removed Don Ramon's head and attached it to machines in his hidden laboratory, keeping it alive through his experimental serum and technology. The decapitated head is capable of speech and retains consciousness. While the head refuses to reveal information, it remains alive and connected to machinery, serving as part of Lorca's twisted experiments.

Don Ramon's head retains the ability to control the decapitated body from a distance. During Lorca's demonstration to Foster, the head commands the body to move and attack. In the climax, the head orders the body to attack Dr. Lorca, causing the creature to crush Lorca's head with machinery. This remote control ability makes the beast even more dangerous.
