A mule was used by the Militaires Sans Frontières commander Naked Snake during the Peace Walker Incident in Costa Rica, 1974.
After learning the location of his next mission objective, Snake managed to take the mule from the Peace Sentinel Crater Base[1] and went on a nine day trek[2] to the AI Lab, housed in a pyramid that he had sighted from the former.
In Selva de la Leche, Central Heredia, Snake briefly stopped to bathe and catch Arowana, although the sudden appearance of Chrysalis scared off the mule. This distracted the AI weapon, causing it to ignore Snake, but forcing him to continue the journey on foot. Paz Ortega Andrade later wondered whether the mule returned home,[3] while Chico recalled having a mule at home once that had been a real hard worker.[4]
