Podmosquovious Equiphilius

Habitat: Central Moscow's sidewalks on weekend nights, often very late, usually in pairs or threes.
Danger if Provoked: Low. Podmosquovius Equiphilius is either too drunk or too focused on making a 100r-spot to be bothered. Nothing can scare the horse at this point.
Mortal Weaknesses: Dudes with souped-up Ladas who offer them a ride. Sweet canned cocktail beverages. Podmosquovius Equiphilius grew up around horses, but she's no PETA activist. Like a mamochka, she pimps her horse out to drunken guys.
Copula Absenta
The Missing Link

Danger if Provoked: Not recommended. Could lead to unpleasant rape.
Mortal Weaknesses: No known weaknesses, or hypothetical weaknesses. So far, scientists have no idea how to lure Copula Absenta out of her hiding.
