You decide to stable your mount so you make your way towards the stables. It is easy to find due to the reek of animals it gives off. Looking around, there are three different species of steed.
Unicorns- image from Windseeker
Very noble and worthy steeds. Grow to a similar size as their cousins the horses although their characteristic horn can grow to 50cm. Feathery hair grows above the hooves and below the mouth forming a 'beard'. Unicorn can live longer than humans if lucky. They prefer to roam alone or in small family groups. More intelligent and violent than horses. The horn is believed to be used for defence, and when males battle for females.
OKAPIS-
A shy, and therefore little known steed. Okapis are native to Zaire (Africa) and live their secretive lives in the dense forest there. They munch on fruits and low foliage. Contrary to popular belief okapis are not, in fact, related to the horse or zebra. They are actually close relatives of the giraffe as both males have small horns behind their ears. They are very good at camouflage and moving silently.
