Conall Cernach is described "crooked." This seems to refer to his neck, which was injured when his uncle Cet mac Mágach tried kill him at birth by stomping on him. After killing Mess Gegra, Conall Cernach took his head. Mess Gegra told Conall Cernach that he would benefit from putting his head on top of his own. Conall realized this was a trick and put the head on a pillar-stone instead. 1/2
