According to their research, materials of terra horses are got from the place near the museum and those of warriors are from a relatively farther place. However, the definitely places have not been designated. As each horse weighs 200 kg compared to the terra warrior that is 150 kg, the terror horses are not easy to be transported adding its fragile legs. This may be the reason why terror horses were made in a farther place to the museum than that of the warriors. I have thought the terror horses and warriors were made in the same place. Oh, I am wrong. What's your thought before knowing the result of the research?
