Head Hunter Any slashing weapon gains the Keen rune while a dullahan wields it, and any hatchet they wield gains the Returning rune as well. If the dullahan kills a creature with a critical hit using a slashing weapon, the target is decapitated as though the dullahan had used Reap on the target.

Reap ◆◆ The dullahan removes the head of a dead creature within reach. Each creature within the area of the dullahan's frightful presence must attempt a new save, even if it is temporarily immune.

Summon Steed ◆◆ (occult) The dullahan summons a war horse with elite adjustments and the fiend and unholy traits. This steed remains until it is slain, the dullahan Dismisses this effect, or the dullahan Summons a Steed again.
