Book 1: The Many-Colored Land
- Ch 26Chalikos are domesticated, intelligent, clawed, horse-related mounts; soldiers' torcs let them control the animals, and stirrups have ankle chains for prisoners.
- Ch 29Chalikos are large horselike mounts that travel fifteen or sixteen kloms an hour and follow the trail without guidance.
- Ch 31Chalikos follow a preset command keeping the train moving at fixed intervals, apparently without feedback to the guards, so Felice can override them.
- Ch 49Armored, clawed war steeds of the Tanu, whose minds are controlled by their riders; vulnerable to belly stabs, whose pain breaks mind-control.
