It doesn't matter at all to the implementation of this is it becomes easier or harder to tame them, use them, if they are to strong, unbalanced, etc, it just matters that we have the correct stats on all the creatures.
This is what I'm seeing on stratics:

http://web.archive.org/web/199910182317 ... m/anim.htm
Which matches up well; but sadly this is the only source I've been able to dig up.
Sadly not avail on Abyss list:

What the heck... capable of casting 8th circle magery?!?!
I don't like that second table at all. It's definitely wrong about a bunch of things. I don't remember drakes having nearly that HP level (again, at 5% of full health, they could be doing 45 pt fireballs). I don't remember dragons being that strong, and I know for a fact they were tameable at 93.9.
I don't remember lava lizards having a stronger melee attack than dragons!!! (that gets three exclamations)
My hunch is that none of the animals changed statistics in UO:R/AOS, when the Animal Lore changes allowed players to see all of the stats of the animals. If that's the case, I remember quite a bit about the stats of the pets (this was my favorite part of the game), and I'm sure we can find some detailed stats from that period of the game. So my advice may be to find out if this is true - if no stats changed during UO:R/AOS - and then if that's the case, use the stats from that time period to inform our period.

Need to find something before 8-31-02.

In August of 02 the taming archive had mares as "They are stronger than drakes, but weaker than dragons"
Atleast this cuts the time frame searching down some.
Ill keep looking.

Zerok, i agree with you that mares were stronger (i actually thought they were still stronger on this shard). To get it changed we need to find documented proof, or at the least a change to animals stats being documented. Somehow mares got *nerfed*, we now know it was before 8-2002.

Derrick, great link. I thought they had more HP, but realistically no one would be able to have known at that time (May 2001) what it actually was. Damage and armor look accurate. Intelligence at that level does ring a bell.

and here is when the above "hunters" page was updated. (first reference to different number i saw)
June 8 -2001
http://web.archive.org/web/200106081450 ... mare.shtml
Fireballs going from 50-60 to 25ish, magery 8th to 7th, taming from 99 - 95.1, etc.
So this, along with your may page tells us mares got changed. It is just a question of when?
Strats Feb 15-2001 shows the older numbers

I'm am really led to believe that the 2001 stats are the most correct we've seen. We know that Nightmares magery skill was nerfed sometime after T2A, and it looks as though their stats may have been hit too. The tamers guide has proved to be very accurate for creatures, and also their history.

FTFY. Couldn't even fix that last sentence... something is missing.
If you want people to listen to you at least speak somewhat legibly.

zerok, everyone is agreeing with you in this thread.... People are just trying to determine when exactly mares got changed. If it was after 2-2001 (which it seems it was), then old school bad-a$$ mares would be accurate for the entire t2a era.
No-one is disagreeing with you here.
