Smith the Horse

Smith the Horse is, as the name says, a speaking Horse living in Iolo's stable at Yew. For a speaking horse he has a real fable for sarcasm and tries to give useful hints. However, his hints are usually useless, since they refer to a problem from the last game.

Smith first appeared in Ultima V. Appearances in Ultima VI, Ultima VII and Ultima VII/2 followed. In the last appearance, he was sleeping, and woke up, before he could give his hint in the dream world.

Trivia

 * The thing with the useless hint came up because Smith was supposed to give a hint in Ultima IV, but was forgotten, so they decided to make him one game out-of-synch. He is located in Ultima IV in a stable in Paws.


 * In Ultima IX a woman named Cleo in Prison Wrong who is being accused of killing all the horses, claim she is a friend to Smith and says that he is in a tree near Paws. The Avatar was supposed to find Smith's body there, and upon returning to Cleo she would have given him an hint about Ultima VIII, explaining that the Guardian has created evil Titans on Pagan. However while there are horses hanging arround, none of them seems to be Smith, and the easter egg can not be triggered.
