Radstallion

The Radstallion is the general name for the many different breeds of horses that live in the ruins of Canada, the former United States of America, the nations of Central America, and the other countries of South America. Due to their many different uses, Radstallions are among the most prized creatures in the wastelands, even moreso than the Brahmin.

They are divided into three different subtypes: Regular, Uncommon, and Rare.

Unicorns
Unicorns are, by far, the most common breed of Radstallion in many of the wastelands of North America. Descended from the Thoroughbred horse, these unique creatures are fast, agile, and strong, capable of running large distances without tiring.

The Unicorns mutated to become twisted, nightmarish creatures, with scale-like skin running down the length of their body. Dark spines run down their neck, and, in order to be saddled, most of them need to be shaved down. A single twisted, gnarled horn of bone extends from their forehead, capable of smashing through metal if given enough of a charge.

These horses are most commonly used in military organizations, especially in the Midwest and Southeast of the United States. On occasion, they have been used by Caesar's Legion, but this is rare. Only the highest-level Legionnaires, including Caesar himself, have had access to a steed.

When wild, Unicorns travel in massive herds, with upwards of five-hundred horses roaming within it. They have a very wolf-like structure within the herd, with a single alpha pair leading the group. The lowest members of the group travel at the edge of the herd, so they are likely to be eaten first, or have the least-rich food to eat.

The Unicorns can survive all over North America, from the wintry cold of Northern Canada to the deserts of the Mojave to the humid rain-forests of Central America. They look the same for all of the different herds that live in these different areas.

Hoofhounds
One of only a few Radstallion breeds that live exclusively in South America, Hoofhounds are miniature horses that adapted to life in mountains or jungles. They are agile and swift, but have little stamina, and, as such, are used for sprinting.

Hoofhounds are small, shaggy little beasts with sharp fangs for teeth, used to rend the flesh from their prey. Their hoofs are specially adapted to be able to handle the smooth stones of both the Andes Mountains and the slick jungle floor of the Amazon.

Hoofhounds are usually only used for hunting when domesticated, but, when trained well, they can be used to carry messages throughout South America, and are used to connect the different survivors down there.

When wild, Hoofhounds travel in small packs, with a single stallion to lead and direct them. However, a wild pack of Hoofhounds is a very rare occurrence, as most are found domesticated by the various peoples of South America.
