Sea Biscuit the Hippocampus Character in Scarterra | World Anvil

Sea Biscuit the Hippocampus

A bluish hippocampus became a frequent sight to the fishers around Meraland. This was viewed as a good omen because Hippocampi are considered sacred to the goddess Mera.   Thus it was viewed as good luck if the Hippocampus swim along beside them. Over time the fisherman realized that she seemed to like eating biscuits best.   Sea Biscuit became even more beloved by the locals when she grabbed a sailor that was thrown overboard and swam him to safety.   As more fisherman cheered Sea Biscuit's appearance and began feeding her biscuits routinely.   Sea Biscuit has also provided warnings and last minute rescues against dark elf incursions.
