Hippocamp

Hippocamps are a species of magical equine creatures that originated from Greece, but have spread to waters all over the world.

Appearance
Hippocamps are basically the equine counterparts to merfolk, with the front halves of horses, and the back halves of fish, with the tail fins aligned horizontally rather than vertically. Also, hippocamps have fins on their backs, fins on their fetlocks, fish/horse-like eyes, and combinations of fins and ears. Coloring-wise, they come in a variety of colors, tending to match the local fish species in their region.

Behavior
Hippocamps tend to live in herds of several individuals/families. Herbivorous by nature, they will eat any sea plants that they come across. However, if sea plants are scarce, they will come up to land to feed on plants that they find there. They tend to have mating seasons about thrice in a year. Just like mundane seahorses, when the female lays her egg, or eggs, she will attach it (or them) to her mate's belly until they are ready to hatch. They will usually only have one foal per mating season, however, twins will occasionally happen. The foals are able to swim half a minute after they hatch, and are able to venture out onto land by the time they reach six months.
