11Overview2233Horses in Crimson Desert come in multiple breeds, each with different appearances and stat distributions. While all horses share the same core mechanics for taming, leveling, and equipment, the breed determines the horse's visual appearance, base stat tendencies, and where it can be found in the wild. There are five known regular horse breeds, plus three legendary horses that exist as unique, named individuals.445566Beyond the regular breeds, the game features three legendary horses with fixed stat profiles: Royler (the legendary white horse), Rokade (the legendary black horse), and Camora (the legendary red horse). These legendary horses have significantly higher stats than any regular wild horse and are each found in specific locations.7788Regular Horse Breeds991010The five regular horse breeds are encountered throughout the world of Pywel.
