Final Fantasy XIV[]
Dullahans are a variety of soulkin. Believed to be ancient golems, it is debated whether they suits animated by magicks or possessed by the souls of their former wearers. The common Dullahan is a high-level enemy encountered in the Proud Creek area of the North Shroud, as well as in the halls of Amdapor Keep. Other varieties of dullahan can typically only be found in instanced duties.

Etymology[]
The dullahan is a mythical horseman in Irish mythology, and is described as a headless knight who rides a black horse, or sometimes in a cart pulled by several horses, which moves so quickly the friction of the wheels can set roadside hedges on fire. The dullahan will ride through the night, eventually stopping at the location of a person who is set to die and calling out their name, drawing out their soul and killing them. If seen it will violently retaliate against the watcher, dousing them with blood and using a whip made from a human spine to lash out one of their eyes. The dullahan cannot be barred from travel by locks or gates and cannot be outrun, but it is repelled by golden objects and will turn and flee if one is in its path.
