Nyika Uwindaji Farasi, which means: Grassland Hunting Horses, in Swahili.
So called, because, when the first equines were found in this reigon of Africa, they were believed to be normal, wild horses. But, what puzzled the explorers who found them was something that happened later. The "pack" of equines slunk into their camp in the shadow of night, and stole the meat that was being roasted over the fire. They were later recorded hunting the prey animals that lived nearby, and, fighting off lions. Of course, the lions were heavier, stronger and tougher, but, when they lept on the rump of the equines to injure them, they were cut into by the sharp spikes along their back. With futher viewing, the explorers noted the small wings on their legs, which allow them to run fast enough to easily catch prey. Whilst not being quite as fast as cheetahs, they have lots more stamina.
They can't be ridden, because of the spikes, but, standing about a metre tall, they can be bridled and walked around, a bit like a dog. They can be very affectionate and safe pets, as long as they bond with you from a young age.
For this guy, all you need to do is give a name and gender.
