Dullahan: A Playable Character & Monster Supplement for 5E

The Dullahan is a legendary creature from Irish folklore. It is often depicted as a headless rider on a black horse. 

This homebrew is heavily inspired by this version of the legend and will feature recommendations for creating a playable character or an NPC that is a Dullahan adapted to fifth-edition rulesets. 

Since this is a character that is heavily inspired by existing folklore, it’s recommended that you look up that folklore in order to learn about its history and uses in media, and of course, be respectful to the culture that the myth comes from.
