The '''Dullahan''' is a monster in the series.

The '''~~dullahan~~''' is a ~~recurring~~ monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. It is an [[Undead family|undead]] warrior that resembles the legendary [[Wikipedia:Headless Horseman|headless horseman]], albeit without its familiar black horse from Celtic myth.

==Characteristics==

Dullahans are headless knights wielding a deadly spiked flail and bearing a shield with a hideous screaming face on it. The knights are heavily ~~armored~~, wearing a breastplate, gauntlets, and greaves all made of plate over suits of chain mail, faulds of brass scales, and they wear ragged red capes hanging from their shoulders. Their ~~armor~~ offers them a high degree of protection against various ailments and some ~~defense~~ against offensive spells. The knights will strengthen themselves and their allies by casting '''Oomph''' and psyche themselves up before unleashing vicious strikes with their flails. They are often found as foot soldiers in the armies of Demon Lords. Starting with ''XI'', the [[headless horseman]] and its kin began appearing, as well, making them closer to its mythological inspiration.

Dullahan began appearing starting in Version 5.1, being encountered in the Netherworld and attack by swinging their flails recklessly, as well as casting Oomph on their allies and themselves. From this game onward, it is the first monster of its kind to be encountered before dark dullahan.

~~Seen from the fall of Yggdrasil onwards, they fight the same way as in ''VIII'' and ''X''. A few also~~ participated in the fall of [[Dundrasil]], where one attempts to stop [[Irwin]], [[Eleanor]], and a young [[Jade]] from leaving with the Luminary, but is stopped by Irwin.
