Donkey
A small relative of the horse, domesticated in ancient times for farm work. Its goofy call is simultaneously annoying and endearing.
When in a caravan, people can ride donkeys to increase the caravan's speed.

Donkeys are tameable herbivores that can be both ridden in caravans and act as a pack animal.
Obtaining
Donkeys can be found in temperate forests, arid shrublands, deserts, and extreme deserts. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.
Donkeys can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Donkeys purchased from traders will be already tamed.
Summary
Donkeys are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.
Donkeys are also pack animals, and will carry up to 49 kg of weight in a caravan. They can additionally be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed.
Analysis
Compared to horses, donkeys have lower caravan capacity and lower caravan speed bonus when being ridden. However, they are easier to tame, consume somewhat less food, and reach maturity faster.
Training
This animal can be trained as follows:
| Guard: | 
|
|---|---|
| Attack: |
|
| Rescue: |
|
| Haul: |
|
*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Trivia
Prior to 1.3, donkeys were the only pack animal with a low Wildness rating, arguably making them the best as they did not require periodic retaming by handlers.
