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 Chiclid!
Cichlid (c)
(CiCi / Cici)
Adds a black banding across the dorsal aspect of the EH. There is no maximum number of stripes seen, but there must be at least four, and it always darkens the muzzle. This marking is considered to be at the same layer as sooty; so it goes on top of the base and dilutions, but under all other markings.
Just a raffle for this kiddo!
