--->''"[T]he breed who have been with the Kencyrath almost from the beginning."''
---->--'''Marc'''
*CoolHorse
*{{Humanshifting}}: They don't do it often, but they can take human form.
*OnlyTheChosenMayRide: They can only be riden if they consent.
*SapientSteed: The Whinno-hir understand speech and frequently establish mental links with chosen Kencyr people. They do not speak, but can make themselves understood, and they appear to be near human in intelligence.
*SeriousBusiness: Marc and five others got thrown out from East Kenshold because of a Whinno-hir, and while Marc hates that he was thrown out, he thinks it's valid reason.
-->'''Marc''': We older ''yondri'' tried to tell the boy that no Whinno-hir can be ridden without its full consent, but he wouldn't listen. We insisted, and he ordered us to leave.\\
'''Jame''': You lost your place at East Kenshold because of a horse?\\
'''Marc''': Because of a Whinno-hir, one of the breed who have been with the Kencyrath almost from the beginning. Because of a friend.

!Rathorn
[[folder:Rathorn]]
* BrownNote: The cry of a rathorn is so terrifying the Knorth adopted it as their battle-cry. It induces terror in those who hear it.
* CoolHorse
* HellishHorse: Rathorns are carnivorous armored unicorns matching many of these tropes, being fanged, double-horned (nose and forehead), red-eyed, and armored with ivory-like plates on head, neck, chest and forelegs. The armor plates continue to grow as long as the rathorn is alive, so the really old ones are also in constant pain and likely to smother in their own armor. They are notorious man-killers with really bad tempers, and are generally some combination of black and white, from all-black to all-white or various combinations.
* RearingHorse: Rathorns are made to fight like this, with armored forelegs, chest, belly and head, sharp dewclaws on the forelegs, and fangs.
* {{Unicorn}}: [[OurMonstersAreDifferent But different]]--rathorns are carnivorous, two-horned armored unicorns that are known man-eaters.

!!Death's-head
* FluffyTheTerrible ({{Defied|Trope}}): When it comes to naming him, Jame suggests this, but Death's-head refuses.
-->'''Jame''': Death's-head. Are you sure you want that for a name?\\
'''Death's-head''': ''[hisses]''\\
'''Jame''': All right, all right. After all, that's what you are. Death's-head and Nemesis it is, then, although for the element of surprise I would have preferred Snowball and Buttercup.
*HorsingAround: Death's-head is very prone to this; he likes to challenge Jame and show that he isn't subservient, even if he's bound to her.
*TheHunter: He spends two books tracking down Jame, to kill her to avenge his mother.
--->''If not today, then tomorrow, or next week, or next year. Wait.''
*TrademarkFavoriteFood: Roast chicken
*WhiteStallion: Death's-head is a white rathorn stallion, and Jame riding such a beast into battle is definitely this trope. {{Justified|Trope}} because he's albino, and a little {{Deconstructed|Trope}} because he's easily sunburned in the south.
-->'''Jame''': Death's-head burns too easily.\\
'''Timmon''': I had wondered. With those red eyes, he's an albino, isn't he?\\
'''Jame''': Yes. A rathorn mare's last foal often is, and an outcast too, poor boy. Others of his kind have black or gray coats, but still white manes, tails, and ivory.
*[[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: It was a MercyKill, but yes, Jame killed his mother. Death's-head spends a while tracking her down to kill her.
