Homebrew Dullahan Species Details

The telltale pounding of hooves on the soft dirt of the road echoed through the night. Bats and birds alike took flight as the massive black horse thundered past their perches. Even as the horse careened into the local village, it did not slow, trampling villagers and sending them running for their lives. As the rider tore off into the night once again, the villagers caught sight of something they would never forget. Where the rider's head should have been, the only thing to be seen was a bloody stump silhouetted against the moonlight.
