What it’s good at

Knock-Out

The kick of a well-bred Equus is to be feared and respected; with a torpor inducing attack that scales with its melee damage, a horse can quickly outpace most other tranquilizing methods. This can make the Equus an invaluable tool for both taming and combat scenarios. The Equus kick is barely more lethal than the crossbow, so it can knock out almost anything that can be knocked out with a crossbow, however it is not recommended for anything that requires tranquilizer darts or higher.…

Trapper

The saddle allows making s, which can be thrown at creatures to tether them to you. You can then move where you want.

Mobile Crafting

Their saddle acts as a similar to and with .

Carrier

The Equus reduces the weight of many items, so packing lots of cementing paste, chitin, and many other items can be useful for a walking mortar and pestle.

Thatch gatherer on Aberration

The Equus is one of the fastest thatch gatherers available on Aberration due to its ability to farm fungal trees while running around. This ability is very valuable during the early stage of the game when you don't have a grinder to make thatch from fungal wood.

Aberration Jack of All Trades

High Weight, very high stamina and extremely low stamina consumption, high speed and health make the Equus your Jack of All trades on maps with no flyers such as Aberration, as well as having better stats than most early game mounts such as a Raptor and being easier to tame than more advanced mounts such as a or a Sarcosuchus.

Valguero and Ragnarok Easy Starter tame

on Ragnarok, the Equus is very common at the highlands biome the biome which you can farm wild Rockarrots and easily tame an equus, as well as Valguero, Horses spawn very commonly near the The Farm (Valguero) where you can farm wild Rockarrots and tame a horse.

War Horse

The Equus can be used as a battle mount with its low stamina drain and reasonably high health (Level Speed and Stamina)

Gatherer

the Equus can gather berries by attacking bushes or small trees.

Travel

The speed and stamina of an Equus allows it to outrun and outpace a huge majority of the creatures. With its kick attack, it can discourage most of the creatures that hunt it.

Scout

The Equus' speed can make it a very viable scout for sneaking into other player's bases, provided there is a hole which it can fit through.

Pet

The Equus' size is good enough to fit in a base, so keeping one for companionship is okay but not strategically useful.

Escape Vehicle

With their amazing speed the Equus is a great way to outrun threats that are to tough to fight or threats that outnumber the player.
