Tufted Billows
Species by Stubs
What is it?
Tufted Billows are an ancient horse breed. Big, sturdy, as well as light on the hooves, and extremely intelligent. However, one thing has cast them out of the 'equine' classification, and it must be due to their two heads. Each Tufted Billow is born with two, healthy, perfect functioning heads. Back when the breed was being made, Tufted Billows only had one head. Due to many years of mutations, the second head was recreated, and born in perfect condition after hundreds of generations. Along with the head mutation, there is also what seems to be a spinal problem. The spine is much shorter than the average horse, causing the tail bone to be extremely small, to nonexistent. With the spinal cord being in somewhat of a short coming, Tufted Billows make terrible mounts and riding horses. Too much work on the back can cause their spinal nerves to die very easily. However, as long as no pressure is put on the back - this breed is excellent in pulling tasks, and work tasks.
Colors?
Tufted Billows over recent years have been mix bred to include a wide range of colors. Tufted Billows can come in any natural colors and markings any other horse would have. Blue, Green, Grey, and Pink eyes are very common rather than brown, black.
Two Different Bloodlines
There are two different bloodlines in the Tufted Billow breed: The Roaches and the Imperials. To put it simply, Roach bloodline includes the Tufted Billows with the shorter spine, and a small tufted tail (as well as a long roach mane). Roaches are bigger, stronger, and more suited to heavy work - they have also been bred for somewhat stronger spines and nerves.
Imperials are sleeker. They are more suited for show really. They can withstand a very small amount of mounting at a time. They have longer spines. Imperials have been known to be somewhat feistier than Roaches.
How can I get one?
