That's what your followers are for! :D

Exactly. Heck, it may talk even though it is dead.

If decapitating Lalach was a huge triumph (the sort of the thing legends are made of), I'd suggest having the head be a magical sidekick to be developed by the players. That way they get something more than the run-of-the-mill ability. If decapitating Lalach was just part of a hard day's work, then make it a random ability.
