The Dullahan

Description
The Dullahan is a headless rider that haunts Ireland and terrorizes the locals there. He rides a black stead that is said to be as fast as steam train, with red eyes that stare into your soul and judges you, then silently communicates Its findings to the Dullahan. Its believed to be the embodiment of the Celtic god, Crom Dubh. it carry's its head as a lantern, its eyes glowing with an evil red. The head is positioned in a huge grin, so much so that it begins to breach the sides of it head, with its eyes constantly moving and are able to see across large fields, even in the dead of night. Its rotting head has the consistency of moldy cheese, which is fair considering it off its body. The Dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and its wagon is adorned with funeral objects. It has candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, and the wagon's covering is made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin. Wherever the Dullahan stops riding, a person is due to die. All he has to do is call out the person's name, drawing away the soul of his victim, and the person drops dead. Its only weakness is any golden object, which is why any weaponry we use in Ireland is fitted with gold lacing.

Behavior
The Dullahan mostly just wonders through Ireland, riding his horse until its time for him to collect another soul. If you get on its bad side it will do everything in its power to punish you, chasing you in its carriage of death. This is drawn by six black horses, and travels so fast that the friction created by its movement often sets on fire the bushes along the sides of the road. All gates fly open to let rider and coach through, no matter how firmly they are locked, so no one is truly safe from the attentions of this fairy. This fairy has a limited power of speech. Its disembodied head is permitted to speak just once on each journey it undertakes, and then has only the ability to call the name of the person whose death it heralds.

Motivation
There is no real motivation. The Dullahan does not pursue specific families and its call is a summoning of the soul of a dying person rather than a death warning.

Sightings
Around midnight on certain Irish festivals or feast days, this wild and black-robed horseman may be observed riding a dark and snorting steed across the countryside. W. J. Fitzpatrick, a storyteller from the Mourne Mountains in County Down, recounts:

"I seen the Dullahan myself, stopping on the brow of the hill between Bryansford and Moneyscalp late one evening, just as the sun was setting. It was completely headless but it held up its own head in its hand and I heard it call out a name. I put my hand across my ears in case the name was my own, so I couldn't hear what it said. When I looked again, it was gone. But shortly afterwards, there was a bad car accident on that very hill and a young man was killed. It had been his name that the Dullahan was calling."

Current Location
The Dullahan currently in Ireland, and because of his super natural stature and being the collector for death, we cannot do anything about him.
