Peto-Veloci Horse
The Peto-Veloci Horse ranks among the three swiftest horses globally. It is recognized for its remarkable speed, commonly utilized in horse racing and swift delivery services. Thanks to its remarkable capacity for sprinting over short distances with astonishing speed. The other thing is truly remarkable for its enchanting ability to transform into stone, halting instantly. They transform into a solid figure of their own likeness, enveloped in a blend of green, black, and grey hues.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Peto-Veloci is a four-legged creature with sleek, short fur covering its entire form. the flowing locks cascade from the crown down to the slender neck, with delicate strands and a graceful extension at the rear as well. They are regarded as members of the larger horse family, yet they possess a somewhat leaner physique compared to many other big horse types. They possess an elongated visage featuring a pronounced snout and a wide mouth, complemented by two large eyes and sharp, pointed ears.
Biological Traits
What they are primarily recognized for is their remarkable ability to reach speeds of up to 45 mph, which is quite amazing. Devoid of any form of enhancement or magical influence. Rendering them highly sought after for competitive racing and warfare. With proper training, their performance are truly remarkable.
The second ability that is widely recognized is the capacity to transform their body into stone. They will transition from a richly hued breeding specimen to a dull green and gray adorned with black spectacle stone. In this condition, they exhibit remarkable durability. Just to illustrate the durability of their stone form, when they are sprinting at 40 mph, they can abruptly transform into a stone state. They momentum stops right away, but that's due to the stone and them making contact with the ground as they burrow into it. The stone legs remain unyielding, resisting the immense force of the ground's push. Afterward, they revert to their original state and stride away as if nothing had transpired. If you happen to detach a segment, the horse will return to its original state, causing the detached piece to transform into the section you removed.

Ecology and Habitats
Peto-Veloci can be discovered in open spaces and meadows. They predominantly inhabit the heart of Raygon. They prefer to inhabit regions that allow them to utilize their agility, especially in environments with minimal challenging landscapes. They generally avoid extreme temperatures, whether it's freezing cold or scorching heat. They won't be roaming the icy expanses or wandering the arid landscapes. They are not suited for either of those.
Behaviour
Peto-Veloci exhibit a temperament that is both kind and gentle, often displaying a tendency towards timidity. To expand on this, they often form social structures and exhibit cooperative behaviors towards one another. They exhibit strong familial bonds and engage in social interactions within their herd. That being said, if something that is not part of the herd, they may interpret it as a threat. It only takes one Peto-Veloci to begin sprinting for the entire group to follow suit. There have been instances where hunters or tamers attempted to approach the herd, only to face the risk of being trampled. Now, if they genuinely feel astonished, frightened, or think they might sustain serious harm. They will initiate their petrification ability and turn into complete stone. That can indeed occur, even when they are mid run at their max speed and become startled or catch sight of something from the periphery. As a result, you may encounter numerous areas of disturbed grasslands due to this phenomenon.
Their unique traits have presented a challenge in the training process for racing or combat. For example as a rider urges their horse forward, a sudden disturbance arises as a bird fly by and startles the Peto-Veloci. The Peto-Veloci engage their petrification magic, transforming into stone and halting in place without delay. Indeed, the rider lacks the benefit of being in a stone form and will either be thrown from the steed or collide with their stony mount. Not the most advantageous position during a competition or battle. Training them presents a challenge; it is essential to begin with kindness and gentleness, allowing them to acclimate to their surroundings and the presence of various stimuli.

Uses, Products & Exploitation
Their bones command a significant value when traded to a Gollum artisan specializing in iron mayors. That's because if you create a robust figure from a racing horse or a swift equine. The construct will inherent velocity from the bone exhibits a slight increase in pace. Now, their calming nature renders them a challenge and difficult to train. There was an era when individuals engaged in the breeding and culling of these creatures for profit, seeking swift financial gain. It was more economical to bread, raise, and process a Peto-Veloci than to train one for competitive racing or combat purposes. Several realms have now implemented regulations and restrictions concerning the breeding and trading of the Peto-Veloci. In the realm of harmony, one must be officially registered with the Kingdom to engage in the breathing of the Peto-Veloci. Race owners with Peto-Veloci must have their horse evaluated by a registered veterinarian before retiring due to age or injury. So that, they may resort to euthanasia and will be able either dispose of the remains or sell the parts.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Peto-Veloci possess exceptional vision, allowing them to perceive and respond swiftly at the incredible speeds they achieve. Due to their location, it provides them with approximately 200° of visibility around the area. Peto-Veloc offers remarkable hearing capabilities ranging from 55 to 33,500 hertz. They possess an incredibly swift response to noises. You can see their ears perk up instantly, and they'll begin to search for it with urgency.

Civilization and Culture
History
In the journal entries of Captain Lance Laymore, we learn of the inaugural deployment of the Peto-Veloci stone form during a conflict on the Western Coast. It's noted in the journal that they awoke at dawn to welcome the sun and ready themselves for the impending conflict. As dawn broke, they observed a silhouette of fully regiment of Orcs positioned on Peto-Veloci, fully equipped for action. The front line, however, donned lighter armor than their counterparts, demonstrating their skill and bravery. The unit assumed their positions with precision and unity. All personnel, weapons at the ready, stand in tense silence on the field, each awaiting the next order.
As I bellow for the advance, the blaring of trumpets from the opposing side resonates powerfully. Both factions advance upon each other with formidable speed. I observe that the initial line of the orcs advanced significantly ahead of their supporting units. I found it peculiar at the time, but I wish I had focused on that bit of detail or had changed up my tactics on my instincts but instead I believed it was just the eager Orcs prepared for battle. That's because when they approached the front lines, they launch themselves off of their steeds and flew overhead with determination. The powerful figures were swinging at the troops, and most of our forces either defended or evaded the blows, but that wasn't the issue at hand. In order to respond to the orcs soaring above, the majority had to maintain vigilance on their movements, momentarily losing focus on the immediate threats ahead. That's when it occurred; they charged into the stone steeds that were once the Orcs noble mounts. They were thrown to the ground, and their horses were ruined; and one Swiss accent our frontline defense was broken.
That's when I realized we had made a critical error, as our defenses were compromised and the enemy was advancing rapidly. There was no option for withdrawal as the enemy advanced from the rear. I ordered our second line to engage, but it was too late; they faced overwhelming destruction. The confrontation proved to be quite challenging, yet we maintained our position and but with heavy loss. I communicated the new tactic employed by the orcs to the commanding officers. It has been designated as the Veloci Stone Wall, or VSW line for simplicity. So if you encounter a force with a front line of nothing but Peto-Veloci charging at you, brace yourself to evade.
