The Zombie Horse Cape is a cape that was given out to promote Mounts of Mayhem.

Appearance

The cape's design is based on the pelt of a zombie horse. In particular, it resembles the part on the side with the partially exposed bones.

Distribution

The Zombie Horse Cape could be obtained as a reward for the "Spear Mayhem" challenge, which ran from December 12, 2025 at 16:00 UTC to December 15, 2025 at 18:00 UTC.
