DESCRIPTION

A draft horse is a large and strong animal that resembles a horse with a heavy build, long legs, and thick coat. Draft horses are often used as work animals, pulling heavy loads such as carts, wagons, plows, or carriages. Draft horses are typically calm and obedient, but can also be courageous and loyal. Draft horses come in various colors, such as bay, black, chestnut, or roan.

COMBAT

Draft horses are not very adept or willing in combat, but they can protect themselves or their owners if necessary. Draft horses have a bite attack and a hoof attack, which they use to bite or kick their foes. Draft horses are also hardy and resilient, thanks to their thick muscles and bones. 

HABITAT / SOCIETY

Draft horses are usually found in civilized areas, where they are owned by farmers, merchants, nobles, or adventurers. Draft horses can adapt to various climates and terrains, such as forests, hills, or plains. Draft horses are social animals that form bonds with their owners and other horses. Draft horses can communicate with each other using a variety of vocalizations, such as neighs, snorts, or whinnies. Draft horses can also understand the basic commands and emotions of their owners.

ECOLOGY

Draft horses are herbivorous animals that feed on grasses, hay, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Draft horses can survive on moderate-quality food and water, but they need regular care and grooming. Draft horses have a lifespan of about 25 to 30 years, and reach maturity at about 4 years. Draft horses can breed with other draft horses or horses, producing offspring such as mules or hinneys.

Draft Horses can be used as mounts or pulling animals for vehicles.
