DESCRIPTION
A warhorse is a large and powerful beast that has been trained and bred for strength and aggression. They are similar to light horses, but have more muscular bodies and fiercer temperaments. They usually have dark or reddish coats, often with white markings on their faces and legs. They have long manes and tails, and sometimes wear metal barding or leather armor to protect them in battle. A warhorse can carry a rider and a heavy load, and can run at speeds of up to 60 feet per second. A warhorse is loyal to its master, and will fight fiercely to defend them from harm.
COMBAT
A warhorse is not afraid of combat, and will charge into the fray with its rider. It can use its powerful hooves to trample and kick its enemies, knocking them prone or breaking their bones. A warhorse can also bite or headbutt with its strong jaws and skull, inflicting additional damage. A warhorse can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check. A warhorse can also be ridden without a saddle or bridle, but this requires a higher level of skill and trust between the rider and the mount.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
A warhorse is usually found in the service of a noble, a knight, a soldier, or a mercenary. They are trained from a young age to obey commands and follow orders, and are often treated with respect and care by their owners. A warhorse can form a strong bond with its rider, and will follow them anywhere they go. A warhorse can also be used for other purposes, such as hunting, racing, or traveling. A warhorse can live up to 25 years, and can breed with other horses to produce offspring.
ECOLOGY
A warhorse is an herbivore, and feeds on grass, hay, grains, fruits, and vegetables. It needs a lot of water and food to maintain its health and stamina, and can consume up to 20 pounds of food and 10 gallons of water per day. A warhorse can also eat meat if necessary, but this may affect its mood and behavior. A warhorse is valued for its strength, speed, courage, and loyalty, and can fetch a high price in the market.
