Gashant

Gashants are upright quadrupeds that have powerful legs and impressive endurance. While still found in the wild in large numbers, the domesticated gashant is also ubiquitous, being the principal draft animal and the exclusive cavalry mount in use by Martian troops. The tough, wiry gashants of the Nilosyrtis Hills are particularly prized by troops who have to operate in difficult or arid country, and are the only gashants used by the Meepsoor Lancers.
