Vanduul footsoldier/headsoldier - Cause of decease: overthinking?

The relic's lettering reads as it follows:

This skull has been preserved from a vanduul footsoldier killed during The Battle of Vega II on Oct 5th, 2945. May We never forget the horrors of that day.

The vanduul are considerably taller than human beings, but this one? It was a giant. If it was still considered a footsoldier with this head, imagine the sneakers it may need.

I personally think that calling this fella a horror may be a bit excessive without a first contact opinion, who knows if a nice personality was behind this skull? But I surely wouldn't start an argument about who spotted the free parking lot first with a vanduul of this height.
