The Gaggle (Linah)

A Perfect Groundskeeper Pegasus Goat Chinook Male, Jojo



A flutter of wings, a clicking of delicate hooves, certainly a pegasus come for a visit.  

Baaa!

Ok, now hold on a minute here! Jojo certainly is a pegasus, but a pegasus quite unlike any other to be seen currently around the Weyr or the Village. Thjis is namely because Jojo is a Goat Pegasus. A Goat Chinook Pegasus to be exact! And he has quite a passion for being the ideal groundskeeper and ensuring the lawn of the Sleeping Shamrock looks absolutely immaculate! He has his rank's famed stubborn streak and often it is turned to the weeds that dare invade his domain; no matter how deep their roots he will dig and bite them out until they lay in a heap at his hooves! And he certainly never needs a lawnmower to keep the grass trim. Just about every day for an hour or so he goes along, nibbling here and there to make sure every blade is kept at the same level, and peruses through the shrubbery for stray leaves or twigs. Jojo can even make a very fine topiary if Linah requests it!  

Jojo, to look at him, is typically goat-sized. So he stands about three feet tall at the shoulder give or take a few inches. Given this obviously he cannot carry an adult male around on his back as other Chinook pegasus can, though where he lacks in carrying capacity he more than makes up for in pulling capacity, able to tug along loads that would normally take a horse-based Chinook or even a Celestial Starmane to haul. If a child is small enough, he could carry them around, though for the most part it would be more practical to have them in a wagon to be towed.

As Chinooks show for their rank, Jojo has a technical 'Bald face' that starts as a point between his horns and flares out in a diamond shape to encircle his blue eyes, then runs straight down his muzzle to end in a point over his upper lip. Perhaps in a nod to his overall mutation as a Goat rather than a horse and his unique coloration, this face marking is almost a golden brown (rather than a horse's normal white) in sharp contrast with the darker near-black that covers most of his head and the rest of his body. When these hairs are let to grow out they tend to bleach in the sunlight to a cinnamon brown, and he has one white sock on his left foreleg. His horns are ivory white, though often stained with the dirt he pushes around in his gardening pursuits.
