The Dräihoufen (Common: /dɹæɪhʊfen/, Luxembourgish: /dʁæːɪhuf(ə)n/) (Libadiocolus Brachychaite) is a species of the genus Libadiocolus, which includes as subspecies the Common Dräihoufen (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Dzes), the Southern Shortmane (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Australis) as well as the Mist Horse (Libadiocolus Brachychaite Fulminea). 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 Dräihoufen 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 Dräihoufen 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 Dräihoufen, however, they are colloquially used to refer to any specimen of this species that isn't part of a domesticated herd.
