An extremely peculiar compound Servant, which combines the Phantom Spirit of Lobo, the King of Currumpaw, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, and the fictional Invisible Man. They were temporarily summoned after Shinjuku became a Singularity, but they will never yield to humans. They are unable to change their past, and humans and beasts will never get along. The only thing Master can try is to simply meet their gaze and not look away.
Lobo the Wolf King was originally a real grey wolf who became famous through Ernest Thompson Seton's book "Wild Animals I Have Known." The book describes how he roamed rampant across the Currumpaw plains, killing two thousand cattle in five years and two hundred and fifty sheep in a single night. Naturally, the pasture owners tried every poison, gun, and trap in the book to capture him, but Lobo didn't pay them any mind.
After months of trying and failing to capture Lobo, who by then had come to be feared as the devil incarnate, the pasture owners hired Seton, who had the idea of using Lobo's wife, the white wolf Blanca. Blanca's fierce curiosity led her into a tiger trap, where she was swiftly killed. Lobo was finally caught when he came for his wife's body. However, he refused to eat any food from his captors, and died shortly thereafter.

Hessians were German mercenaries hired by England to fight in the American Revolutionary War. Many years later, one of them, unaware that he had died from a cannonball to the head, found himself astride Lobo, his name and head both gone. However, this same Hessian did come to find fame of sorts in Sleepy Hollow, as the headless horseman of its most famous legend.
