Pistol (NPC)

Pistol is one of three horses up for auction in Wyatt Earp's nightmare in Martian Dreams.

Apparently a normal, but beautiful black stallion, Pistol was incapable of speech -- unlike his competition in the auction block, which included Smith the talking horse, and Earp's dream-incarnation as a horse named "Marshall." When spoken to, Pistol simply nudged the Avatar's hand looking for sugar cubes or some other treat. Finding none, he turned away. The Avatar could choose to purchase Pistol, but this would leave insufficient funds to purchase any other horse.

Pistol was not seen again once Earp's dream was ended.
