Paladin Warhorse Question

[Aran Thule]

Hello all, my paladin character is probably about to encounter some demon types which got me wondering about the following:

What subtype is the warhorse?
I am guessing that from the description that is does not have the [celestial] template (and is instead seen as a [magical beast] and not an [animal])
However given that it is called from the celestrial realms would it classify as having the [good] subtype?

It will come down to the DM's decision anyway but i just wanted to see if there was any point in raising the issue.

Unless it explicitly says it is Magical Beast, [Good], or [Celestial], then it is none and would be the same as the horse in MM animal section.

Though what risner said is true, the paladin's mount is still treated as a magical beast for purposes of all effects that depend on its type (PHB pg. 45). For example, Charm Animals or Calm Animals would not work on a Paladin's Mount even though it is an animal.
