"The first thing that can be sensed from this man is the sound of metal brushing against another. A figure soon stands before you, clad entirely from head to foot in armor. No trace of openings or means of removal is visible to you. The scent of death emanates strongly from his person."

Species type: ghost

Dullahan is an armor, cursed to exist only to bring death wherever it arrives. At times it possesses a body that it feels best suited to empower itself, granting it improved movement capabilities depending on its host. Having a certain level of intelligence, the cursed armor ensures that its host survives as long as possible, or until it finds a more suitable host to use.

Dullahan only uses humans as hosts, finding other beings too unstable to utilize. At times, Dullahan appears before vengeful humans, granting its power to them in exchange for being its host. This brings about a bloodbath as the Dullahan ensures complete death to whoever the vengeance is to be extracted on.

The Dullahan is a close-combat being, who is only as fast as a fully-armored human is. Its energies ensure that it can withstand most blows delivered upon its body, hardy enough to grant surprise and fear to its foes. Blades can eject from the elbow, knuckle, and knee guards, granting the Dullahan even deadlier weapons than its body.
