Magical Horse Purebreeds

1. The Unicorn
Where to Find Them: Unicorns can be found in many biomes, but are easiest to find in the plains and forest biomes.


What can they do? Every unicorn has a horn, and these unicorns know how to use them. There are a number of evil creatures that are natural enemies to unicorns, and unicorns will attack them by lowering their horn and charging. When you tame a unicorn, you can tell him to lower his horn, and attack with it using the 'F' key.


Soft squishy things like meat and apples can be worn on a unicorn's horn.... Why would you do this? Maybe to make a fashion statement? In any case, you can do it.


Putting a slotted horse helm on your unicorn unlocks one of its most powerful abilities. With a slotted helm, a unicorn can equip a wand, and using the magic of its horn, attack with it! Any horse with a unicorn horn can use the equipped wand itself, or be commmanded to do so with the 'F' key.


Unicorns also possess a sparkly aura that has unknown effects.


2. The Pegasus
Where to Find Them: Pegasi are harder to find, but sometimes you can find them resting in plains, forest, beach, and hilly biomes.


What can they do? Pegasi are masters at flying. Once you have tamed one, you can ride into the sky just by holding the jump button. To descend quickly, push the 'C' key to make your pegasus fold up his wings and plummet.


On the ground, the 'C' key makes your pegasus perform a buffet attack: he beats his wings forward with great force, blowing back creatures and items in front of her. Stronger winged horses (perhaps even with magical help) have been known to throw creatures with great force off cliffs and to their deaths.


Take care when taming a pegasus! They are flighty creatures, and have been known to fly off with the inexperienced rider, dumping him to his death from a great height!


3. The Nightmare
Where to Find Them: Nightmares like hot weather, so you can find them in the desert and savannah biomes.


What can they do? Nightmare hooves start fires wherever they strike, including in the air. Fire protection is highly recommended if you hope to tame one!


Nightmares have smaller wings than their pegasus cousins, so they fly differently, and have less maneuverability in the air. They run faster, however, and can fly through the sky at great speeds. Turn too much, however, or otherwise lose your momentum, and they quickly lose altitude and float to the ground.


A nightmare's wing buffet attack is not as powerful as a pegasus's, nor does it hit as wide an area. However, when near fire (created by the nightmare, or any other fire), a nightmare can harness that fire with its wings and shoot twin fireballs when it performs its buffet attack.


4. The Destrier
Where to Find Them: Destriers like cold weather, so you can find them in the colder biomes, like ice plains and taiga.


What can they do? Destriers are simply monster horses. They are bigger, meaner, and more powerful. Just by stomping around, they destroy plants and bust through snow and foliage. When a destrier rears, watch out! Their kicks can kill, and knock down trees and bust dirt and other weak blocks.


If you breed a destrier with a horse of another type, the child is likely to inherit the destrier's large body trait. Any magical horse with a large size body will see some of its other traits improved: even bigger wings that are more powerful, and a stronger horn attack. This increase extends to magical items, as well! Try out Power Horseshoes, and see the difference.

All magical horses can kick creatures when they rear, and any magical horse equipped with a helm can perform a charge attack with the 'F' key, even if that attack may not be as effective as a unicorn's charge attack.

All magical horses can wear a chest and gain extra inventory slots.
