Name Slots Taming Required Remarks Horse 1 49.1 taming or purchased from stables Rideable Llama 1 64.9 taming Forest Ostard 1 64.9 taming Desert Ostard 1 64.9 taming War Horse 1 69.1 taming Giant Beetle 3 71.1 taming Can hold 1600 stones in addition to it’s body weight (in much the same way as a Pack Horse). Ridgeback 1 83.1 taming Savage Ridgeback 1 83.1 taming Frenzied Ostard 1 87.1 taming Pack instincts allow a reasonable amount of damage in groups. Fire Beetle 3 93.9 taming Can be used as a forge. Scaled Swamp Dragon 1 93.9 taming Can be armored to prevent up to 10% of damage dealt by monsters to the player, or 20% if the armor is exceptionally made. Swamp Dragon 1 93.9 taming Can be armored to prevent up to 10% of damage dealt by monsters to the player, or 20% if the armor is exceptionally made. Nightmare 2 95.1 taming Has a Fire Breath attack along with magical abilities. Slightly inferior in combat to the (unrideable) Bake Kitsune. Ki-Rin 2 95.1 taming Only ridable by male characters. Summons insects to attack those who harm it’s rider. Has magery. Unicorn 2 95.1 taming Only ridable by female characters. Capable of curing it’s rider. Has magery. Wild Tiger 2 95.1 taming Lesser Hiryu 4 98.7 taming Hiryu 4 104.0 taming Cu Sidhe 4 101.1 taming Only tamable by elves. Can only be ridden by humans if they are wearing the Pads of the Cu Sidhe. The only creature in the game with the Healing skill (which it can use on it’s owner when not being ridden), it is capable of withstanding very large amounts of damage. Reptalon 4 101.1 taming Has a Fire Breath attack but little else to recommend it. Like most 4 slot creatures it can take a high level of damage. Fire Steed 2 106.0 taming Somewhat of a “trophy” pet. Despite the very high level of skill required to command one it’s of little use in combat. No magical abilities, but it’s pack instincts allow greater levels of damage when fighting in a group.
