Entry Entry Text
Quest Start Out in the Faron Grasslands, you came upon Straia, who is conducting a study on animals of the region. He said he's specifically looking for the rumored giant horse that lives on the Taobab Grasslands.

Straia asked you to help with his investigation into the giant horse. After all, how giant could it really be?
Quest Clear You captured the giant horse in Taobab Grasslands.

Giant was an accurate description, to be sure. This beast could probably trample monsters with ease.

When you brought it back to Straia, he was very surprised.
