Chumash

Appearance
Chumash is a sea-green hippocampus stallion with orange fins and a red mane. His front end is like that of a normal horse, except it is pale sea-green with orange neck and leg fins. His rear, however, is a scaly fishlike double tail that is a darker shade of teal. It's adorned with abundant orange fins at his hips and at the ends of his tails. He's a beautiful horse!

The Name Game
The tribe this steed was based on, the Chumash, were located on the Southern coast of California. They were renowned basket-weavers, and sailed on the ocean in boats called tomols, from which they fished and whaled. When redwood drifted down the coast, Chumash would cut it into planks to make their tomols, using pitch to seal the gaps. Today the Chumash have a reservation at Santa Ynez, California.
