About

Several bystanders dive out of the way as a dark coach races through the street. They look up and see the coach is pulled by a black steed and the driver is a strange-looking man. The cursed coachman then raises his whip and attacks an onlooker.

Pulling the Strings. This horrid monster was created after a tragic crash killed him and his family. He rides through the city at night, causing panic in the streets. The cursed coachman can order the nightmare that pulls the coach to follow his commands.

Caught in Trap. If a non-evil creature gets inside the coach they might never get out. The spooky-looking vehicle has trapped many individuals before. Some evildoers have used the coach to kidnap unsuspecting victims. A number of these unfortunates eventually find out they have traveled a great distance. Sometimes the victims aren’t on the same plane of existence any more.

Ride Hailing. This undead creature can be commanded to drive evil-aligned creatures from one location to another. Unfortunately, this business is hurting the businesses of living coach drivers.

Undead Nature. A cursed coachman doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
