Description: Landstriders are fairly common as they're quite easy to domesticate. A cross between a horse, llama and a camel, they're exotic but tame creatures perfect for travelling within Elysia. Their owners often braid the taroch's mane and tail, even decorating with dyes and beads, and they often feature in parades and ceremonies. They cannot be taken to Earth, however, so many travellers still prefer horses over landstriders even though taroch are faster and quicker to train.

The taroch's slightly humped back can be uncomfortable to ride bareback, giving rise to a highly profitable saddling industry that specialises in landstrider requirements. The slender head is shorter than that of a horse though of a similar shape but it is the shaggy hair nearly three inches long all over the body that really sets the taroch apart from horses, especially when the taroch's owner has spent time grooming and decorating their landstrider with gems, jewellery and dyes.

Taroch cannot normally be found in the wild, however, largely due to the fact that wild taroch are dying out. Instead, they can be bought from breeders or hired from the stables in the plaza.
