She's a rokurokubi, not a true dullahan. Most of the time, her head is attached to her neck. Even when it's not, there's no hole; but there are runes on the stump that could be used to identify her.

Touhou Kappa do, however, fit most of those traits in one way or another. They don't match the scaly skin, but they substitute their blue, waterproof clothing; and we will never know if they match the smell. They also match some other kappa traits which you didn't mention, such as the arms connected through their bodies. ZUN's is obviously not lifting straight out of legend; but he is adapting legend, and Sekibanki is pretty obviously not an adapted dullahan, despite the names of her theme and one of her spellcards.

As if to add insult to injury, she doesn't even throw her head. It floats off of her body under its own power without her laying a finger on it: a trait of the nukekubi and rokurokubi, as well as a few other southeast Asian monsters which are probably related to them.
