Pestilence (Horse)

Pestilence is a mythic horse found in the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC pack.

Characteristics
Pestilence is one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, along with War, Famine, and Death. The player can tame Pestilence in the wild.

Pestilence seems prone to death by landscape glitches. Care should be taken when traversing a steep mountain, as the horse might randomly die.

As noted in the blood pact description, Pestilence is extremely tough and can withstand more damage than the other horses. It also has infinite stamina. Pestilence is covered with open wounds and has bloody eyes from ocular hemorrhaging, a physical manifestation of disease and plague. It is also surrounded by a sickly green cloud which stuns zombies for a short moment. When standing still Pestilence will bleed out of its eyes and open wounds, leaving small drops of blood on the ground.

Location
Pestilence must be found and tamed in the wild. It spawns randomly in the West Elizabeth area, though the most commonly reported location for Pestilence is near Broken Tree or Tall Trees.
 * Between Manzanita Post and Aurora Basin.
 * South of Broken Tree.
 * West of Thieves' Landing.
 * Between Great Plains and Beecher's Hope.
 * Around Bearclaw Camp.
 * On the Great Plains near the north river.
 * Between Blackwater and Beecher's Hope.
 * Near the last Sasquatch.
 * South of Beecher's Hope or east of Manzanita Post.
 * South of Blackwater.
 * Near the Wreck of the Serendipity.
 * Outside of MacFarlane's Ranch.
 * Near or next to the Pacific Union Railroad Camp.

There is a chance that if the player finds Pestilence but does not break it, it will not respawn anywhere in the game for a day or two.

Trivia

 * The first rider of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rode the white horse, actually Biblically referred to as Conquest. It has become Pestilence in popular culture, though the horseman had no traits that would warrant it in the original text. Death was the closest, bringing with it a plague in some interpretations of the Bible.
 * It is possible for Pestilence to spawn after the player first leaves Blackwater, allowing the player to get early access to one of the Four Horses.
