Chumash

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

Magical Gifts
Chumash can swim and breathe underwater, like most (if not all) Islandar horses.

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.

Dolphin
Chumash has a special connection with the dolphin.
