==Animals==

===Draft Horse===
*'''Movement''':  22 miles a day
*'''Carrying capacity''': 450 lbs.
*'''Hauling capacity''': 700 lbs. plus a driver
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353355&postcount=740 OOC III, #740]: A draft horse moves at 22 miles per day, and is broadly similar to the riding horse. They don't like harsh terrain as well, though. A draft horse can carry 450 lbs of material. For a horse pulling a conveyance, it may handle 700 pounds plus a driver.

===Mule=== 
*'''Movement''': 24 miles a day
*'''Carrying capacity''': 300 lbs.
*'''Hauling capacity''': 450 lbs. plus a driver
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353355&postcount=740 OOC III, #740]: A mule can carry 300 pounds and moves like a normal man, roughly. They are well-adapted to harsh terrain, and are a favorite among adventurers for that reason. For a mule pulling a conveyance, it may handle 450 pounds plus a driver.

===Namakari===
*'''Movement''': 20 miles a day
*'''Carrying capacity''': 550 lbs.
*'''Hauling capacity''': 1200 lbs. plus a driver
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353355&postcount=740 OOC III, #740]: Namakari are common creatures in Veya and the surrounding area, and are favorites for heavy portage. They have supplanted oxen due to their great strength and easy disposition. A Namakari is an omnivore capable of dining on forage, but can have its diet supplemented by almost anything a human would eat, and also things they wouldn't (carrion.) They are particularly fond of fruit and, when they can be had, giant insects. Some claim they are slightly more intelligent than most domesticated animals, but they are not well-adapted to very cold weather. They move at 20 miles per day, and are somewhat tolerant of difficult terrain, especially swamps or sandy deserts. While they make poor riding animals and can only carry 550 pounds on their backs, they are remarkable draft animals when attached to a cart or wagon. Due to their omnivorous diet and higher calorie requirements, 5 pounds of feed per day are advisable for a Namakari that will be working hard. For a namakari pulling a conveyance, it may handle 1200 pounds plus a driver.
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353428&postcount=745 OOC III, #745]: A namakari is a big damn lizard. Imagine a scaled-up iguana. They often have their tails docked and get used as beasts of burden.
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13071838&postcount=680 OOC II, #680]: The Namakari are indeed large, warm-blooded reptilian things, almost certainly cousins of the old lizard-beasts, but not their descendants. None of these species were native to the area, they were all imported from some distant land as eggs. When Veya fell into its currently half-feral state, nobody wanted to pay to maintain the kind of military infrastructure that the war-lizards required. The Namakari, though, are sufficiently useful in their own right that they are still produced on several outlying ranches and available on the open market.

===Riding Horse===
*'''Movement''': 36 miles a day
*'''Carrying capacity''': 300 lbs.
*'''Hauling capacity''': Not recommended
*[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353355&postcount=740 OOC III, #740]: A riding horse can carry a rider and their personal equipment, more or less. A PC who doesn't wear armor can carry a bit more, a PC who does wear armor shouldn't carry any more than they'd usually schlep around in a dungeon, and should consider putting their pack on another beast if they're going to be wearing plate. An unmounted horse can carry around 300 pounds. In either case, they can move 36 miles per day. Generally speaking, a hard-working horse should have its diet supplemented with oats and so forth, adding up to 3lbs of feed per day. They are not very useful in terms of pulling a cart or wagon, and should not be used for this purpose under normal circumstances.
