Thoats were multi-legged herbivores native to Wunderland. They were named for their resemblance to the creatures describe in Edgar Rice Burrough's Martian Chronicles. Thoats are described as being roughly the size and shape of a triceratops, with large horns that are used by Kzin riders to guide the creatures. While their large size allows them to carry up to two Kzin on their backs, they are still up to twice as fast as a horse over short distances.[1]
