Daynight Horse (Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi)

The names Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi are bahuvrihi compounds, meaning "shining mane" and "rime mane" (or "frost mane"), respectively.

Large horses that represent dawn and dusk originated in Asgard and Jotunheim, respectively. Both of them have long, beak-lipped snouts; the Skinfaxi-type is less curly and colorful and has longer manes and tails than the male. The sweat glands on Hrimfaxi-type animals release white or snowy particles that feel like rime, despite having long, smooth manes and tails. Both skins are different; the Skinfaxi-type has pure white legs, manes, belly, and even a tail, but is different from the female one. The Hrimfaxi-type has all body parts black due to being countershading.

The Daynight Horse can maintain long-distance trotting while sprinting up to 89 km/h. Strong strength and endurance allowed them to pull two to five times their body weight. These horses have excellent hearing and smell, as well as a broad range of vision (almost 350°). These horses are naturally able to swim. They can successfully paddle over rivers, lakes, and coastal shallows; swimming is utilized for training and therapy, although it is exhausting to swim for extended periods of time.

The Light Daynight Horse collects solar energy. Then, in front of its mouth or hooves, it creates an orb of ivory-colored energy that it shoots at the adversary. It has a 30% chance of stunning the target as well as reducing its defense and special attack.

The Dark Daynight Horse collects lunar energy. After that, it creates an orb of purple and black energy in front of its hooves or mouth, which it then shoots at the adversary. It is 30% likely to be both flinched and stunned.

• Regrowth: When you dispose of horse manure, it's waste unless all of the following apply: it is used as soil fertiliser. it is used lawfully for spreading on clearly identified pieces of agricultural land and in grassland.

The Daynight Horse is a grazer and herbivore that mostly eats grasses, hays, and a few plants; they are particularly dependent on fiber. For this species, their roles in ecosystems include the ability to compete with natural grazers, the creation of grazing patterns that affect grass regeneration, and the potential for overpopulation to harm soils in delicate habitats.

Filipinos, Siamese, and Faroese Islanders have all claimed to have seen a descendant of this horse born at night on the island known as the Faroe Islands. Prior to the statement from the scientist rather than a duke, sightings of this horse had previously been documented in Denmark.

Reproduction

• Breeding Season: Late spring to summer.

• Gestation: ~11–12 months.

• Offspring: One foal per birth.

• Foals are precocial—able to stand and follow within hours.

• Herd harem structure: one dominant stallion, multiple mares, and offspring.

One of the herd animals with intricate social structures is the Daynight Horse. They use their body language, ear and tail motions, and vocalizations to communicate. These horses, who are prey species, have a strong flight instinct.

Daynight horses are extremely trainable and naturally wary, but if they receive care over an extended period of time, they may develop close relationships with their caregivers. This animal was used for sport, work, therapy, riding, and companionship.

Threats

• Overhunting.

• Livestock competition.

• Habitat loss.

• Harsh winters and droughts.

• Genetic bottleneck from near extinction.

• Capture for zoos during the early 20th century.

Conservation Status

• IUCN Red List: Data Deficient (DD)

Conservation Efforts

• Habitat protection.

• Anti-poaching enforcement.

• Rescue and rehabilitation centers.

• Awareness campaigns against illegal pet trade.

Steppes and wide grasslands are home to wild horses. Due to its widespread distribution, the domesticated horse no longer has a specific habitat. Both are Jotunheim horses imported by frost giants to Asgardians.

Equids, unlike other animals and beings, do not require feeding. It's easy to tame because all you have to do is hop on its back. While it may buck you off a couple of times at first, if you stay persistent, you'll have the equid under control in no time. If you're lucky, you'll be able to tame it all at once.
