Magical horse help

[LizardMage]

I'm doing a special Halloween one-shot adventure for my group this year and I need to know if there are other magical horses besides the Unicorn, Pegasus, and Dragon Horse. I'm nowhere near my books right now, and the PRD is a touch limiting without photos. I'd love any help on the matter.

Thanks folks.

Nightmares are pretty badass fiend horses from the plane of Abandon.

[Snorter]

The most evil horses of all creation.

[Rathendar]

Sandpoint Devil?
is horse....ish.

If you can use hybrids, don't forget the Centaur and Pegataur.

[LizardMage]

Hybrids are out. Was looking for something around a CR3 no flying no horned horse.

[Kelazan]

Kelpie are CR 4 shapeshifting evil fairies that can use beast shape IV to take the form of horse. They are aquatic, but can be found near a river or even a small lake. Easy to introduce. Remove Weapon Finesse (useless when beast shaped) and swap it with any other useful feat (Power attack), and they can become pretty dangerous.

You could always take a standard horse and drop a couple of templates on it. Here's an advanced half-fiend horse:

Mind you I just whipped that up in Hero Lab, and I haven't audited it closely. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the horse to have both hoof attacks and claw attacks (from the half fiend template), so you could just declare that the hooves have claws on the end and use the claw attacks. Oh, and the half-fiend template also gives it the ability to fly. Since you don't want flying, just ignore that part.

Did those flesh-eating horses from the Herculean stories ever get the Pathfinder treatment?

Actually this creatures isn't legal.

1) Half-fiend (and half-celestial) can only be applied to a creature with int 4 or more.
2) The advanced template does not grant a bonus to intelligence to creatures with int 2 or less.

It could be done as a fiendish heavy warhorse though.

[Tinalles]

Yes. I thought about that. And my thoughts went something like:

A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course, unless of course the talking horse is actually a magical beast.

^_^

If I ever publish a souped-up horse, I'll worry about the niceties of animal versus magical beast. For homebrew one-shots however, I'll do whatever suits the needs of the story, and the "animals have only 2 INT" rule can go hang out with all the other pointless minutiae that don't really matter.

EDIT:

I don't think so, but there's a "man-eating animal" template in the second volume of Wrath of the Righteous. Put that on a horse and there you go.
