Mule (4e Creature)
Mules are animals that have the size of a horse and the disposition of a donkey. They are a crossbreed of both animals. Mules are adept at crossing treacherous terrain and can endure almost anything. As such, mules are commonly used as beast of burden on long trips across mountains.

Mule Tactics
Mules tend to shy away from combat due to Self-Preservation but will lash out with their Kick when in extreme danger.
Mule Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 12: Mules are hard workers and are commonly used by people traversing mountainous terrain.
DC 14: Mules are a result of a crossbreeding between a male donkey and a female horse. A crossbreed between a female donkey and a male horse results in a hinny, a much weaker kind of mule.
DC 16: Because mules are bred from two different animals, they are not a true species and as such are infertile.
Encounter Groups
Because mules can only be attained through crossbreeding, they are rarely found wild in nature and instead are found within human settlements.
