      If you haven’t seen the show yet:

      • Witches in that world have staffs with a living wooden creature on top, called “Palisman”. It’s basically a mix of an familliar and a tool / staff decoration. Most Palismen are shaped like regular animals like cats and birds and spend most of their time as inanimate objects sitting atop their respective staff, but there’s no actual restriction for how they have to look and whether or not they have to be attached to their staff all the time.

      • The “giant head” creature is called The Bat Queen, and in the show it is eventually revealed that she was once a Palisman herself, albeit on a giant staff, so her owner must have been a giant too. But that was thousands of years ago and she has forgotten whom she belonged to. The human sitting on top is the main protagonist of the show and offered the Bat Queen to help her search for the truth if she ever wanted to find out who her former owner was. (It never happened because the show was brutally axed before that subplot had a chance to develop)

      • Titans are… well… titanic in size once they’re fully grown, but that’s TOO big to wield something of the size of the Bat Queen as a staff topper.

      Conclusion: she was the Titan’s toothpick, not a staff. And it’s probably for the best that she forgot.
