Dullahan Template: Difference between revisions

__NOAUTOLINKS__

The haunting dullahan ride dark steeds through lonely stretches of forest trails in search of the damned. It is said that the dullahan are Death’s own hands and feet; allegedly, when the dullahan utters a person’s name, they simply drop dead. Rumor has it that merely looking at a dullahan causes one to go blind. Even so, there are various accounts of a dullahan’s appearance: A headless horseback rider or carriage driver clad in black and armed with a long whip made of a human’s spinal cord. The dullahan’s head usually rests under the crook of its arm, and dullahan have been known to hurl their heads at their victims.

To turn any humanoid creature into a dullahan, apply the following template.

* It gains the undead tag.
