Monster Trophies

During Geralt's adventure in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you will be able to take on several Witcher Contracts that end in defeating a powerful monster. As proof of the deed, you will be able to equip the head of the slain monster on your horse, but the heads do more than just show off your skills.

Every Monster Trophy you obtain can be equipped on the horse like other Horse Upgrades, and each trophy grants it's own set of passive buffs. These change dramatically from monster to monster, and can be swapped out at any time. Below are list of possible Monster Trophies and their effects.
