Police Horse

The Police Horse is a dangerous, genetically modified beast used by the NAPD to quell insurgency and break up protests. This animal is rarely used without an accompanying Police Officer Horse Master, and still accounts for more deaths than all other NAPD infantry combined.
== Appearance ==
The Police Horse is nearly identical to its distant earth relative, but is far more powerful and mean-spirited.
== History ==
Police Horses were first cultivated from modified horse genes when the NAPD began to establish itself. Countless genetic splicing has rendered the modern version much different than its predecessor, and the Police Horse enjoys an active role in the NAPD community, where it is fed a steady supply of fresh meat.
The Police Horse is born and raised in special pens dedicated entirely for them. This is because they will attack and destroy any other wildlife. When they mature, a special Police Officer is assigned as their master, and the duo may stick with each other for a long time to come.
== Powers and Personality ==
Police Horses are universally violent towards anyone who isn't either their master or on good terms with their master. Their constant desire to feed and plunder is barely kept in check by their overseer, who must work to channel it into useful ventures. Often times a Horse Master will point the horse in the direction of a criminal and allow it to go to town. A Police Horse's strength, bite force, and acid spray make short work of things.
A Police Horse's savage demeanor betrays an almost frightening intelligence. These creatures are naturally capable of parroting speech, and can be traced back to their owner because they mimic his or her phrases. A Police Horse may warn a suspect to drop their weapon, but then immediately proceed to stating that shots have been fired as an excuse to spit acid at the suspect's face and slurp it clean off their shoulders.
== Creation of Horsespawn ==
All Police Horses are unisex and gestate three young in their stomach. They have a special organ that delivers the nutrition each baby needs to develop into a battle-ready police horse. At birth, the three babies tear their way out of the parent's torso and devour each other until only the strongest remains. The parent will heal over the course of a few days and be ready to breed again in only 6 months, resulting in generations of Police Horses that gradually refine themselves.
However new NAPD techniques have enabled the creation of an even more dangerous entity. By massaging a pregnant Police Horse's stomach, they can stimulate the specialized organ responsible for delivering nutrients and cause a biological overload. This triggers the three babies to merge into a singular, highly mutable entity that retains its malleable structure even after birth. The result is a powerful amorphous creature known as a Police Horsespawn.
== Trivia ==
* A Police Horse is not dangerous to its own kind, but will bully other, smaller Police Horses when idle.
* Police Horses wear body armor on their flanks, but they really don't need it.
* The average Police Horse has an instinctive craving for Hot Chip. They are not immune to its effects.
* Despite their powers and resilience, Police Horses are completely non-anomalous creatures. Their abilities are entirely the work of finely tuned genetic experimentation.
