 All war mounts and monster mounts get their attack routines beginning on the round following the round they are considered to be in melee.((MM 53 lists this for warhorses, and we extrapolate it for other mounts.)) Mounts not meant for combat will only fight as a last resort, and will always choose to [[avoiding|flee]] instead if possible.

+Remember that non-war horses have a 90% chance to flee in many combat scenarios, and warhorses have a 10% chance to flee.((MM 53.)) Which combat scenarios constitute "sudden movement" or "strange smells" depends on the scenario and the miliue. For example, in the standard AD&D world, it would be common for warhorses to be ridden in battle against orcs, so their smell should not be strange. But for a riding horse, a large melee would certainly produce a chance to flee. [[Dogs]] do not have a special chance to flee, but have other downsides mentioned on that page.
