Bio: The universe is full of life, some familiar to the ones we know of, while others are undeniably unlike Earth life. The creature here is a mixture of these two elements. Despite his humalike morphology, Dulan is not a human or a creature of Earth, but came from a world that had a similar evolutionary path to Earth, and his similarity to humans in morphology is mostly a result of convergent evolution.

Yet, as familar as him and his world looks like to Earth, there are significant distinctions between Dullahites and humans. These aliens are characterized by their unsettling ability to detatch their own heads, revealing a circular maw with arow of teeth where the top of the neck would be. Meanwhile their heads can move around with previously hidden arthropod-esque legs, allowing for them to even crawl up walls and ceilings. While both appear to be unique creatures, both share the same genetic code and cannot exist without each other, therefore the head and body are considered the same entity.

Connectivity with these creatues comes in the form of Telepathy, allowing both parts of the Dullahite to communicate with each other and coordinate hunts, as with Dulan trying to scare his prey into a trap or pin prey down as the main body starts swallowing. However, his species' Telepathy AOE is relatively short, with the head and body having a maximun distance of 30 meters from each other before both parts start to suffer from Low Connection Fever (LCR), a sickness exclusive to Dullahites which after 100ft, causes the Dullahite to feel sick. Beyond 300ft, Low Connection Fever becomes terminal, resulting in the alien's death. The only way to prevent this from happening is for the head/body to trade one of its parts with another Dullahite as the only requirment for the head to survive decapitation indefinetly is to be near or inside the main body's Telepathy bubble.

Dulan is not one of these "hybrid" Dullahites, as both his head and body were present from birth. He also lives on Earth after moving into it and blending in with the humans. Due to knowing the fear humans could have over a species like him, Dulan keeps his head peched on his face and changes his skin color to mimic human skin color, only removing his disguise when alone, hunting prey in the night, or if he's been around a human long enough to know they won't react with fight-or-flight response once he shows his true nature as an alien.

=Trivia=

* Dulan and the Dullahites are clearly based on the Dullahan, known more commonly as the Headless Horseman of Irish folklore (although this alien doesn't have a horse companion for him).

* Initially, I was gonna make the Dullahites have their colors be as close to humans as possible, but even if the Dullahite is able to change color, the chance of its main color being the same as humanity despite originating from a homeworld at least a few hundred light-years away is astronomically slim, even with convergent evolution shannagains.
