Kind of. I only saw a horse recently, but I get the similarities. Imagine uhh, a bird sized horse I guess. Toma have two legs. And they have to wear helmets. And I've never been bitten by a Toma. When Sylvain took me to meet the horses one literally pulled me over the fence by my arm.

( Is he still bitter about the horse betrayal? Who knows. )

I think it was mostly that she wasn't expecting him out there. You don't think you'll see someone in the middle of the desert, right? He just appeared, I think. I was napping.

( Also Wolfwood did absolutely throw himself in their path on purpose, that was absolutely a thing he did. )
