Overview
Equus is a medium-sized herbivore used primarily for breeding. It reduces the weight of several resources in its inventory, making it valuable for transport efficiency. The creature can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
It is commonly tamed to assist in resource transport due to its significant weight reductions on key materials like Clay, Sand, and Cementing Paste.
