Quagga

7.3 UPDATE
''' Note: The quagga has not seen any changes in the 7.3 Update. '''

Quaggas ('kwag-uh', "Something Striped") are horse-like prehistoric creatures that were added in the 6.3 Build. It is the same size as a normal Minecraft horse and uses the same sounds and mechanics as one. They drop quagga meat upon death.

Unlike the other Cenozoic animals, there is no fossil model of the quagga through tar fossils.

Like most other mobs in the mod, they do not spawn naturally in the world and must be created by the player. As they are mammals, they are obtained through an embryo which needs to be placed into horses.

BEHAVIOR
Quaggas cannot be ordered fed, or aged like most prehistoric creatures can. As such, they will simply become an adult a short time after being born, like a vanilla animal. They behave like regular Minecraft horses, and run away when attacked. Their predators include titanis, phorusrhacos, and kelenken, as well as most other prehistoric predators. Quaggas can wear saddles, horse armor, and chests. They can be bred with golden carrots once tamed.

TAMING
Quaggas are tamed like normal Minecraft horses. The player must attempt to ride the adult quagga until it allows them to ride it (hearts will appear). Tamed quaggas can be equipped with saddles, horse armor, and chests.



RIDING
A tamed quagga can only be controlled when ridden if it is wearing a saddle (it does not require a whip, as other prehistoric creatures do). It uses the same WASD controls as normal movement. They are as fast as a vanilla Minecraft horse; however, they unfortunately cannot jump. Water deeper than two blocks should be avoided because it causes the player to dismount.
