The hippocampus is the most prized of marine steeds, for they are strong,
 
swift, and intelligent.
 
Their bodies are covered with fine
 
scales in the fore parts, large scales elsewhere. They speak their own
 
language and can learn another if properly trained. Tritons are often
 
found in possession of these creatures.

Hippocampi are a hybrid between a horse and a body somewhat similar to the seahorse, except that it is enlongated and very powerful. The front of the hippocampus consists of a horse's head and forelegs, which end in powerful leathery fins. They are covered with tough scales that possess a range of colours, though amber and blue are most common. Hippocampi live in both salt and fresh water. They serve as a mount for numerous underwater humanoids and are particularly beloved of sea nymphs. Famously, a team of giant hippocampi draw the chariot of the god Posiedon.
