Urlashnaurukshuk (horse breed)
The Urlashnaurukshuk (plural: Urlashnaurukshuka) is an Aurukshukan breed of warhorse. It's massive, fast, strong, tough and endurant. It combines the strength of a draft horse with the speed and grace of a racehorse, creating a horse capable of moving at high speeds while wearing heavy armor for extended periods of time. These are the best warhorses one could hope to find. They make very fast cataphracts because they aren't slowed down so much by the weight of the armor, and they are bred to be less skittish and easier to train.
This horse breed was created by the Aurukshukan to act as a fast cataphract. Once Aurukshuk and Shayanaha united they shared the horses among them. During Berlintini I's Great War of Coalition, Arquado Barbarossa's forces captured all of Eldanfan the Outcast's warhorses which included over 2,000 stallions as well as mares and foals and used them to breed their own stock of warhorses. As they bred them, they could afford to to use some for their elite cataphracts and they have had these warhorses ever since.
