* The premise of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse CrackFic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/8302852/chapters/19014151 Stiofán Dubh]]'' is that Steve Rogers, AKA ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, gets his head sliced off, but due to a deal his Irish mother cut with the Irish pagan deity Crom Dubh when he was an infant, he does not die, and instead gets transformed into a dullahan, moldy cheese-stinking head, weakness to gold, motorcycle, and all. What makes it a total crackfest is the focus on all of the inconvenient practicalities of living without a head, the LemonyNarrator's disgusting, irreverent descriptions of the state of Cap's "injuries" that manage to CrossTheLineTwice and loop around into utter hilarity, and the other Avengers coming up with [[BlackComedy the worst possible jokes]] to distract themselves from the fact that their charismatic leader is now a functionally mute, partially blind, partially deaf fae creature and harbinger of death who will not only never be able to live a normal life again for the rest of his possibly immortal existence, but is also terrible at his new job.

When Cap does eventually decide that he wants to do the modern dullahan thing and ride around the country smiting evil from his motorcycle, Tony modifies his neck-cap with a socket that will not only never be able to live hold a prosthetic head, so that at least he'll look mostly normal life again for if he gets pulled over or has to be in populated areas as long as he keeps his motorcycle helmet on and the rest of his possibly immortal existence, but is also terrible at his new job.visor closed.

She also has a card associated with the Dullahan. She doesn't have a horse though.

* ''Literature/GhostRoads'': Rose meets a dullahan, though she doesn't have a horse. Dullahans, like ''bean sidhe'', are beings that were never "alive" in the first place, and they take the form of a parasitic head that manipulates a headless corpse.

Despite this version of the League consisting of warriors such as Daniel Boone and Captain Stormalong, they barely survived the encounter, as the Horseman turned out to be impossible to harm through mundane means, and the League could only fight him to a stalemate until dawn, when the Horseman disappeared.

In reality, Kevin is just riding around the neighborhood on his bike, throwing eggs at people. Notably, Kevin is the only "monster" Ed insists the group run from rather than try and fight.
