Chapter 1432 Of Course, A Horse.
--- Kat ---
When they reached the stable, Kat's first thought was 'where are the horses' but the answer to that question became clear a moment later. The animals milling around the stables were clearly equine, even if they weren't what she'd consider 'horses'. Instead of fur the… 'horses' were covered in a thin layer of scales. Unlike a snake's, they weren't interlocked at all, instead it was like someone had stretched a set of scales over something too big for them. Every breath the 'horse' took allowed gaps in the scales to show skin underneath.
Kat looked one of the closest horses in the eye and noticed they were… normal. Or rather, normal for a horse. No slitted reptile eyes, normal round irises for these horses despite the scales. Those scales also seemed to let up a bit around the front of their face, allowing for a lot more skin to show through by default, especially around the nose, eyes, and mouth.
