Stalhorse: Difference between revisions

A Stalhorse is an undead skeletal [[Horse]] reanimated by [[Ganon]]'s magic.<ref>{{Cite|It was once a regular horse, but Ganon's power revived it from death.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref> However, Stalhorses behave and function like regular Horses and pose no threat to [[Link]]. They only appear at night, as they cannot maintain their bone structure during day.<ref>{{Cite|It cannot maintain its bone structure in the daytime.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref> If a Stalhorse is in Link's presence as the sun rises, he will witness the Stalhorse fall to pieces and disappear. They are always encountered with [[Stalkoblin]]s or [[Bokoblin]]s riding on their backs.{{Verify}} Due to a lack of stomach, Stalhorses will not eat [[Carrot]]s or [[Apple]]s and they cannot be registered at a [[Stable]]. If Link tries to register a one at a Stable, the Stable owner will call it a monster and refuse to board it, as it might eat the other Horses.<ref>{{Cite|What in Hylia's name?! That's a monster, not a horse! Sorry, but we can't board that... thing here. It might eat the other horses.|Varke|BotW}}</ref> Wearing the full [[Radiant Set]] causes Stalhorses to run at high speeds when ridden.

Stalhorses serve a role in the the "[[Stalhorse: Pictured!]]" [[Side Quest]]. If [[Juannelle]] is spoken to at [[Snowfield Stable]], she will state that she has heard there is a Stalhorse is in the area, but it is too cold for her to search for it.<ref>{{Cite|I heard there was a {{Color|BotW Red|Stalhorse}} in this area, but I can't take it any longer! It's too cold to look anymore!|Juannelle|BotW}}</ref> Juannelle will offer to give Link a reward if he brings her some notes or a picture of the Stalhorse.<ref>{{Cite|Can you handle this task for me? I'll even reward you! All I need is a picture! Or some notes!|Juannelle|BotW}}</ref> Based on the rumor, she advises Link to try and find a Stalhorse, along with its Stalkoblin rider in the [[North Tabantha Snowfield]],<ref>{{Cite|There's a rumor that it can be found with Stalkoblins in the {{Color|BotW Blue|North Tabantha Snowfield}}.|Juannelle|BotW}}</ref> but states that a picture of a Stalhorse from any location would work. If a photo of the Stalhorse is shown to Juannelle, she will be startled by its appearance, saying that it looks like a monster. She then rewards Link with a [[Silver Rupee]] and the Quest is complete.<ref>{{Cite|Wha-? This is the {{Color|Red BotW|bony horse}}? That {{Color|BotW Blue|Stalhorse}}... It's a monster!|Juannelle|BotW}}</ref>
