Shaper headdress

Shaper headresses were special headresses worn by members of the Shaper caste of the Yuuzhan Vong. Headresses had snake like appendages sticking out of them, and were rudimentally connected to the Shaper's mental state. Shaper headresses could take various forms, usually linking together into a ball (giving an appearance similar to the turbans used by the Intendant caste) or would simply stick out (making them look similar to Ho'dins).

Behind the scenes
Shaper headresses were presumably based on the legends of Medusa.
