Equiara Hippocampus (EH) were officially discovered in 1846 by a group of researchers off of the island of Hawai'i in the Pacific Ocean. They were named Equiara due to the Hippocampus Seahorse already steaking claim on the title. Equiara, or at least the legend of the Hippocampus are found all over the world, but usually found in warmer oceans, and never in freshwater. These horses can be kept by humans in large aquatic centers that represent their original environment.
There are three types, or factions, of Equiara: Bondlow, Showfa, Malden. Depending on the faction of a Equiara, they can have different physical appearances and personalities. Overall, they are relatively friendly to other animals, including humans, as long as they're not competing for resources. Equiara live in herd-like groups called schools, and it is common to see humans have three separate schools for each faction, as different Equiara have different living environments.
Due to the advancement of technology, any two Equiara can breed, regardless of gender or faction. An Equiara will always have gills and may also have any combination of fins and horns (horns may either be minimal or maximum, tail/back horns are independent).
Introducing a new marking!
Rainbow Shimmer (r)
(RsmRsm / Rsmrsm)
A dilution that consists of at least 3 colors at a maximum of 20% opacity to create a rainbow effect along the body of the EH. This goes on top of most other dilutions, but underneath sooty, markings, and grey. It also affects the mane color. In breedings, the offspring’s colors are decided by the parent’s.
