Appearance. Standing at an impressive 6 fores high these horses dwarf all other domesticated creatures save the ulgaroth. They are heavily muscled and honed for power. Their weight is approximately 240 hebs. They are covered in fine fur that is normally tan in coloring. The main and tail tend to go towards darker brown or black. The interesting difference in this breed besides their pure size has to do with their legs. The coloration around their hooves and for about half their leg is normally white. Along with that there is a trailing of white hair that tends to feather out as they run. Return to the top

Special Abilities. These are warhorse of the first order, not only due to their size but their training as well. While it must be said that they do not have the best endurance they more than make up for it in their sheer power and size. They are trained to kick and bite on command. This comes in very handy in battle, and is another reason why they are prized.

Territory. This particular breed of horse is found most often in the foothills of the Celeste Mountains, as they are native to this area. Also those that use them keep a pretty tight hold on them. However, some will occassionally be traded, and when done so are highly prized and thus well paid for.

Habitat/Behavior. Despite their fearsome reputation as warhorses Kev'lor Horses tend to be rather gentle when not in battle. One will often see a group of Kuglimz children climbing all over a Kev'lor and pretending to be warriors while it stands there grazing contentedly.

Diet. Kev'lor horses are fed on Alth'ho grass when they are out at pasture. When they are stabled they feed either on dried Alth'ho or a mixture of grains and oats.

Mating. When the mares come into heat, the lead stallion will sense this and attempt to mate with the mare. One stallion can service up to a herd of 40 females. This can be quite hazardous to his health, as the mares will try to resist and will kick at him. The mare will give birth to a live foal after a gestation of several months.

Origin. The Kev'lor were orginally the heavy calvary horses of the Mynian Kingdom. They were selectively bred to encourage size and power. Endurance wasn't as necessary as they would trot their horses and as they neared then gallop, using the weight of the horse to help in shock value. During the fall of the Mynian Kingdom, many of the soldiers that survived and fled left on these horses. Over time with the dilution of pure lines the horses have actually shrunk a little in stature and bulk to become today Kev'lor horses.
