Background

One of the first wishes asked by the Priests of the Ancients were for tame beasts of burden. The Stone requested the blood of a warm-blooded animal of the sea. Two months after the blood of a seal was brought to the stone, a pair of infant animals were given to the priests with instructions on their care and breeding. These were the first Sea Beasts.

After two generations, a warrior class had arisen, the Knights of the Stone. They required mounts and the Stone granted the priests a vial of liquid to be given to a female Sea Beast. Each of the offspring of that Sea Beast was sleek and with powerful tails. They turned quickly and took well to whomever was their first rider. Soon, every Knight had a Sea Horse.
Personality
The Sea Horses are mounts that are genetically predispositioned to accept their first rider as their master. They prefer to be on the move and fail with mundane tasks such as farm chores. They are warrior mounts.

"Mmmppphh!"
Powers

The Sea Horse provides mobility to the Knight. While it has little in the way of offensive capability, that is not a problem since the Knights more than make up for that. These mounts also have thick hides and a layer of blubber that protects them from the cold of deep water as well as from combat damage.
Appearance

Genetically modified from seals, the Sea Horses look rougly like their predecessors. They differ in their large tails that are similar to those of dolphins. Except in the heat of combat, they are ridden nearly prone to reduce drag.
