A mule was used by the Militaires Sans Frontières commander Naked Snake during the Peace Walker Incident in 1974.
After learning the likely location of the Mammal Pod from Huey Emmerich in order to stop the creation of Hot Coldman's Peace Walker mech, Snake managed to take a mule (presumably from the Crater Base garage[1]) and went on a nine day trek[2] from the Crater Base to the AI Lab in a pyramid that he saw from the former. He then briefly stopped to bathe and catch Arowana, although the sudden appearance of Chrysalis scared off the mule, which caused the AI weapon to ignore Snake. Because of the mule being scared off, Snake was forced 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]
