Hippocampus are a type of sea fae that are sometimes kept as pets. They resemble seahorses and are small enough to reside in a fish tank. They first appear in A Local Habitation.

Unnamed Hippocampus[]

Colin Dunne at ALH Computing owns one as a pet, and Quentin inherits it after his death. He keeps it in a fish tank in his room.[1][2]

Mythology[]

The Hippocampus is a mythological creature shared by Phoenician and Greek mythology. It was also adopted into Etruscan mythology. It has typically been depicted as a horse in its forepart with a coiling, scaly, fish-like hindquarter. In Hellenistic and Roman imagery, however, Poseidon (or Roman Neptune) often drives a sea-chariot drawn by hippocampi.
