Anyone have a headless horseman statted up for DF?
I am curious if anyone has a headless horseman statted up that would be suitable for DF. I imagine the headless horseman would be some sort of wraith but with some powers for his jack o lantern head? Thanks

I was thinking about it, but you'll pretty much have to just invent whatever seems cool, because the only standard elements of the folklore are a horse and a rider who either has no head, or carries his head.

If you have access to GURPS Classic: Monsters, they have a version of The Headless Horseman statted in it. It shouldn't be a big deal to convert that to 4E and tweak it to fit DF.

Neither one actually has a specific stat block, though. You have to take the stats from the main entry for The Ghost (and tweak 'em, if you feel the desire to). |

Incidentally, it's worth remembering Washington Irving's source of inspiration:

I've recently been playing through Dragon Quest XI, and could be persuaded to make dullahans like they are in that game - their faces are on their shields, which makes for an interesting effect (of course, this being DQ, the designs are a bit silly looking, but that would be easily remedied). The first I encountered anything of the like was a short story about a girl wearing a red ribbon/scarf on her neck, which she forbid her lover from removing. After their marriage, curiosity got the better of him, he removed it while she slept... and her head fell off. So, when I next ran across them in Japanese media as Cute Monster Girls, it wasn't as much of a stretch as it probably was for others who ran into them previously (note Dullahans are often depicted as reapers, of the grim variety, which makes CMG's of them an odd choice).
