The Dräihoufen (Common: /'lekʊn/) (Libadiocolus Brachychaite) is a species of the genus Libadiocolus, which includes as subspecies the Common Lequn (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Dzes), the Southern Shortmane (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Australis) as well as the Mist Horse (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Fulminea). A three-toed, semi-domesticated and hoofed animal, the species as a whole is widespread in their local biota, being one of the more successful due to their superb hearing and sight. The first subspecies is the only widespread domesticated breed, however the Dze practice the domestication of feral Lequn and no single subspecies is considered fully domesticated or feral at this point, with a surprisingly high genetic similarity between feral and domesticated specimens, which has led to the conclusion that either all subspecies of Lequn are domesticated or that the constant mixing between domesticated and wild individuals has led to the genetic similarity between individuals.
Because of this, the terms "Feral" and "Wild" are rarely used to describe a Lequn, however, they are colloquially used by foreigners to refer to any specimen of this species that isn't part of a domesticated herd.
Distribution
The latest findings show that L.Brachychaite had evolved by around 1 million years ago in what is now the Dze Steppes in the east of the modern confederation and that by 400.000 BR they had extended throughout the Polykariote-Eukariote Limes, becoming a common species throughout these lands with a range spanning thousands of kilometres.
Ecology
For the most part, Lequn are open grazers who can be in herds of up to 200 individuals, with no strict social hierarchy between males and females, with a more matriarchal structure with the oldest female individuals being considered the leaders. They prefer the open steppes and shrublands, however they have been seen seasonally travelling through woodlands, specially the Mist Horse, and they have little in terms of food preferences.
