Iron Age - Animals
Mounts, pets, beasts of burden and livestock available in the iron age.
Animals
Animals are creatures that currently lack the capacity for sapience.
Mounts
Large strong domesticated creatures, bred for their speed and endurance. Mounts are typically faster than humanoids or at the very least offer a significant advantage to a rider.

| Racnid | Giant spider-like creatures, bred to be superior mounts. While they lack the wall climbing and web spinning abilities of their smaller cousins, racnids make up for it in speed and size.
