Many ancient literary works mention onagers. They were domesticated thousands of years ago and originally used as beasts of burden.

Onagers are very intelligent animals. They have a great memory and can recall the face of someone they met 25 years prior, so make sure you’re nice to them.

Onagers are adaptable to weather changes. In times of extreme cold, they can grow a curly, dense coat for the winter.
