Moon-horse

__NOTOC__
Moon-horses, also known as teu'kelytha, are a race of highly intelligent, magic-using horses that are unique to elven lands. These magnificent animals vary from white to silvery-gray in color, with manes ranging from white to black. A moon-horse's eyes are deep and highly intelligent, and its facial expressions reflect a wide variety of moods.
Moon-horses are similar in temperament to the elves whom they serve. They roam freely, but voluntarily serve as elven cavalry mounts when there is great need.
Although they do not speak elvish, they do understand it and can respond intelligently
==Combat==
Moon-horses are tough fighters, and far less flighty than ordinary horses. Each moon-horse has the ability to cast one magical spell per day, as determined by rolling 1d10 and referring to the following table.
Die Roll	Spell 	1	Color spray
2 	magic missile 	 	
3 	Shield 	 	
4 	sleep 	 	
5 	Wall of Fog 	 	
6 	Knock 	 	
7 	Ray of Enfeeblement	 	
8 	Stinking Cloud 	 	
9 	Summon Swarm 	 	
10 	Web 	 	
Moon-horses are completely immune to all special attacks such as level drain or paralysis by undead, although they still take normal damage.
==Habitat/Society==
Moon-horses normally travel in herds of as many as 20 individuals. However, many associate voluntarily with elves, serving as companions and mounts.
The horses' association with the elves is a very old one. Ancient legends tell of heroes who rode wise and mighty moon-horses into battle, and of moon-horses who saved their masters at the cost of their own lives. The alliance between the two races continues to this day, with moon-horses serving the riders of Queen Amlaruil.
==Ecology==
Moon-horses are quite long-lived, with a lifespan of 200 years or more. However, the breed suffers from low fertility. A typical mare will bear but one or two foals during her entire lifetime. Because of the rarity of foals among the moon-horses, a new birth is a momentous event, celebrated by moon-horses and elves alike.
On Toril, the last herds of moon-horses were transported to Evermeet during the elven retreat from the mainland, and most continue to run free through the island's forests and meadows, serving the riders of Queen Amlaruil as needed.
