HISOTRY [click me]
Nowadays extinct wild terratan.
Six nowadays known breeds of terratan horses were all selectively created. Original true wild terratan horse is extinct, and feralised domesticated markhorses took it's place in wild.
Wild terratans were grullo, with large twisted horns with small dismorphy, long tails with two additional smaller ones and were able to change small parts of horns and whole eyes according to mood. 
Wild terratans used to live in temperate grasslands atound steep rocky hills of Terrateka. (Todays land of Atherna). Trolls from Scaram epire first started to domesticate them and are responsible for all six breeds. 
Since terratan horses were easier to keep than other ridable creatures of Terrateka, they quickly gained popularity among orcs. Hovewer orcs used terratans mostly as source of food and materials. Wild terratans were considered delikacy among orcs. It is orc race, who is responsible for wild markhorse extinction.

 

WILD BEHAVIOR [click me]
Terratans are social animals living in herds with social structure coresponding with real world horses. Dominant stallions will lead herds and fight off other stallions trying to mate with mares of their harem. Hovewer fights are different. Terratan skull is thicker and can withstand big impact. The horns protect the skull too, and are hardy and definitely not easy to be broken off. So stallions fight by wrestling, trying to push opponent further away. If opponent slips out of the pressure, they do bite and kick.

 

DOMESTIC BEHAVIOR [click me]
In domesticity (most of terratans live in domestic conditions) they well do best if kept in company of other markhorses, or atleast equines in general. It is not advised, to add markhorse into domestic herd created by nagians, as unicorn horn is  incompatabile with nature to head to head wrestle of terratans. 
Generally are terratans fairly easy going and somewhat energetic, but exceptions do occure.

 

STABLE REQUIREMENTS [click me]
Terratans can be kept in outside paddock for whole year, unless kept in part of world with extensive very cold enviroment.
They do best if regular schedule of feeding is provided.
Also keeping them in motion, especially jumping or in hard variable terrain is good. They don't do too well harnessed to work with heavy burdens, as they were bred for riding.

TRIVIA

  • Original markhorse design were created by Jasper-19, which was at her time very active admin of Colderra.  
  • Markhorses reached top popularity in group in years 2014-2016 and there were many imports and customs sold. This led to increase of price. Then Jasper dropped activity and stepped down from her admin position, but custom price stayed unchanged.
  • Since price of custom os such height or involvement of real money is agains ideology of Colderra, markas price lowered and avaliability restricted.
  • Only recently, in 2021, were markhorses renamed to Terratan horses.
