About

This half-horse/half-fish hybrid has the front of an equine, complete with flowing mane and long, strong legs. The legs end in fins instead of hooves. The hindquarters are that of a great fish. The entire body is covered in fine scales. A typical hippokampos’ scales vary in color from ivory to deep green, with shade of blue and silver.

Hippokampoi are docile creatures and only fight if threatened or if an ally is threatened. In combat, they use their powerful bite or tail slap.

Sacred to Poseidon. It is perhaps not surprising that the hippokampoi are sacred to Poseidon. They are used by seafaring beings in service to him as mounts and beasts of burden to pull their chariots.
