Dragon Horse (3pp)

This creature resembles a horse with a smooth coat of scintillating blue hues that seem to flicker and wash over its body in waves as it gallops through the air. Its deep sky blue hooves do not touch the ground as it moves. The mane and tail of a dragon horse is of purest white and flows out behind it in an elegant cascade.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary or family (2–3)
Treasure none

Dragon horses are beautiful, graceful creatures, peaceful and reclusive. They spend nearly all their time aloft among the clouds, rarely deigning to set foot on solid ground. Being peaceful creatures, dragon horses dislike combat and seek to avoid it, unless pressed. In melee, a dragon horse attempts to deal nonlethal damage to its opponents. Unconscious opponents are not further attacked.

The name “dragon horse” is something of a misnomer, as these creatures have no relation to true dragons. They are, in fact, more closely related to the noble ki-rin. Dragon horses are creatures originally from the Elemental Plane of Air that have decided, for reasons unknown to anyone but themselves, to reside more or less permanently in the Material Plane. Dragon horses visit the Elemental Plane of Air frequently, however. Dragon horses are solitary creatures, but a mated pair will often remain together to raise their young. They have no need or desire for material possessions and so keep no treasure.

Training a Dragon Horse

Dragon horses are highly prized as steeds, but they are notoriously difficult to train. They have a very free spirit and do not tolerate captivity, thus only juvenile dragon horses have any chance of being tamed mounts. Dragon horse foals have the Young template, and mature to adult size after 10 years. A captive foal can be raised only by a good being and doing so requires 10 years and a Handle Animal check (DC 30) every 6 months.
