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.
