Ecology

Dullahan is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in any regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Dullahan is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.

Origin

Dullahan is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Fey trace to the Feywild and the eternal courts of the seasons — the Seelie and Unseelie, or older powers. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
