'''Mukaali''' are a type of [[xenos]] utilized by [[Tallarn Desert Raiders]] [[Rough Rider]]s. These Sometimes locally reffered as 'Sand Pacers' these are desert-dwelling herbivores, used as large mounts, and are indigenous to the [[Desert World]] of [[Goru-Prime]]. [[Tallarn]] has an agreement with Goru-Prime to import thousands of Mukaali's every ten years. Mukaali are capable of living for long periods of times without food or water, but conversely have very poor tolerance to cold climates. Their thick hides generally have a mottled blue/grey colouring, running to a brown/pink underbelly. Trained Mukaali are somehow dim-witted but well-tempered and placid creatures, lacking any natural aggression - even males cann't fight and faced with danger unmounted Mukaali always flees from the danger.{{Fn|1}}
The main Mukaali advantage over a horse is its exceptional endurance and load bearing capability. Their feet as specifically crafted to move over sand at high speeds, and large soft pads help spread their weight to avoid sinking in soft sand. Because of these evolutionary advantages, Mukaali-mounted Rough Rider squadron can range further afield and carry more equipment than a horse-mounted squadron.{{Fn|1}}
