Player notes
Taima is Charles Smith's horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 and belongs to the Work class. She is a small horse with Standard handling, a Grey Snowcap Spotted coat, and balanced speed, acceleration and health, while her stamina is stronger. The coat name used by the game corresponds more closely to a Black Semi/Near-Leopard Appaloosa pattern, whose ticking gives the dark coat a grayish cast.
She is found at the gang's camp or near Charles Smith, who usually rides her. Arthur Morgan uses Taima temporarily during the opening events in Colter after Boadicea dies. Once Arthur finds another horse at Adler Ranch, Taima returns to Charles, remaining associated with him through the gang's movements.
Taima carries Charles on hunts, scouting rides, rescues and escapes, and she can carry a deer carcass after a hunt. Charles rides her while helping the gang move between camps, searching for Trelawny, assisting the Native Americans, and returning from the Cornwall Factory with Arthur. After Eagle Flies is carried on Taima during the rescue, Charles later leaves with her and she is not seen again.
Trivia
- โHer name is possibly related to the Mesquakie word taima, meaning "thunder"; Taimah ('tie-ee-mah') was a well-known chief of the Meskwaki (Fox) in the 1820s.
- โHer appearance in the game's first trailer is different and features a more traditional grey coloring with a solid black mane and tail.
- โAlmost all of her colors and her saddle are taken directly from Falmouth, who is based on a real-world horse which likely implies that he was designed first. In a pre-release screenshot, she even shares the same mouth color with him and is replaced by Falmouth in the mission photo for "High and Low Finance".
