A horse.

Horse

Old model.

A horse is a large four-legged, four-hoofed animal with a long face, substantial body, and fast, narrow legs. This is the primary mount for humans, which includes, only now to a lesser extent, the worgen of Gilneas.

The strong bond between the humans of Azeroth and their warhorses has existed for generations. However, since the fall of Lordaeron, only select varieties continue to be bred throughout Alliance-controlled lands. Most prized among these are the stately Evendales of Elwynn Forest, renowned for their loyalty and even tempers. These horses command a hefty sum, but they reward their owners with steadiness and speed.[1] Horses are widely domesticated for riding and as beasts of burden.

Knights are traditionally powerful horse-mounted warriors of the Alliance and the kingdoms of humanity.

Some of the blood elves prefer riding horses rather than hawkstriders.[2]

Skeletal horses raised from the dead are commonly used by undead. Death knights use horse mounts, prominently deathchargers.

Chargers are the spirits of former deathchargers,[3] once redeemed by the paladins through a sacred ritual,[4] those holy steeds are devoted to the cause of their owner.[5]

Felsteeds, dreadsteeds and wrathsteeds are types of demonic horses used by the Burning Legion and by warlock champions.

Sinrunners are horses in Revendreth.
