Description
"Once upon a time, a down-on-her-luck apprentice stable hand left the safety of home and stable to seek her fortune. Through trials and tribulations, she made her way to the very heart of Jorvik, beyond the fabled Ashlands, into the crater of Garnok's Fury.
The Young hero returned with two impossibly large gems. Thinking her fortune made, she headed home to present her treasures to the queen, but before her audience, the gems split open, revealing a pair of scaly dragons. In the blink of an eye, the dragons transformed into majestic horses! Called in to present her gift to the queen, the girl had nothing to give but a fantastic tale and two seemingly ordinary horses.
Aldrach the Red is the embodiment of nature's destructive but necessary forces, such as volcanic eruptions. To see the crimson scales of Aldrach is a warning of oncoming disaster, but you will grow stronger if you can pass through the fire. They are passionate, as difficult to control as a volcano, but the rider who perseveres will be richly rewarded with a lifelong companion and new inner strength.
Dragon horses are notoriously vain, which is why they disguise themselves as Friesians, considering the breed the most beautiful and regal of all horses. Few can see through the illusion, and they only choose to reveal their true forms to those they deem worthy."
Unique Features
Color Changing
The Aldrach is a magical horse with the special ability to change colors. When the player presses the "h" key or the magic horse icon on the horse's character sheet, the horse will change from its neutral colors to its natural (magic) colors and vice versa. The horse will not change colors during races or while the player is unmounted.
The Canter Pirouette
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this move.
As the Aldrach shares its model with the Gen 3 Jorvik Friesians, it can perform their special move called the Canter Pirouette. The animation can be activated by pressing the spacebar, but only when standing still; otherwise, the horse will jump instead of performing the move.
