Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Seahorses are one of nature's Mix And Match Critters. Essentially, it is a fish, but with the tail of a monkey, the pouch (in males) of a kangaroo, swiveling eyes like a chameleon, encased in bony armor plating, swimming upright using its dorsal fin, and with a snout more like a snorkel than anything else nature has come up with. These odd features have led it to be associated with Eastern Dragons. According to some legends a seahorse is a baby dragon, and thus seahorses are often tied to dragons. Like Dinosaurs Are Dragons, this is largely an Eastern culture trope: most notably, the Japanese word for seahorse, tatsu-no-otoshigo, literally means "dragon's bastard child." See Legendary Carp for another animal that turns into a dragon in Japanese Mythology. Also connected to Seahorse Steed, which are often large and rather like sea dragons.

Aquaria plays with this just a bit. Seahorses are friendly, can be ridden around for a speed boost, and whinny when interacted with. Seadragons (see below, under Real Life), on the other hand, are hostile, breathe fire, and roar very loudly when they spot you. | |

A Song Of Ice And Fire: The sigil of House Velaryon is a seahorse. Among Westerosi nobility, they are the closest in terms of genetics and culture to House Targaryen, whose sigil is a three-headed dragon and who once rode dragons before they went extinct. Like the Targaryens, they are a house of Old Valyrian origin, although they moved to Westeros centuries before the Targaryens did. Despite being non-dragonlords, they are the only other Westerosi house whose members could ride dragons, thanks to extensive Targaryen-Velaryon intermarriage. | |

Pokemon: The Horsea line are all classified as "Dragon Pokémon" in the Pokédex. Horsea and Seadra are not Dragon-type Pokémon, but their evolution Kingdra (based on the weedy sea dragon) is. Pokemon X And Y introduce Skrelp, a Poison/Water type leafy sea dragon who evolves into Dragalge, a Poison/Dragon leafy sea dragon. |

In Fruits Basket Hatori Sohma is one of several Sohmas who are under the family's Hereditary Curse of turning into one of the animals of the Eastern Zodiac when embraced by someone of the opposite sex who isn't cursed; in his case, he's the Dragon. However, he transforms into a seahorse instead, something that is embarrassing and quite dangerous to him if he's not near a body of water. According to Shigure, the fact that he turns into a seahorse instead of a dragon is a sign that the Sohma family curse is weakening. | |

Dragon Quest has the Quayhorse and Wharfhorse, which are both based on seahorses. They are anthropomorphic seahorse warriors about the size of grown men and often have the same Breath Weapon abilities as other dragons in the series. In the Monsters games and other spinoffs, they are counted as part of the Dragon family. | |

Ultima: Don't underestimate seahorses. They might look like they're a normal everyday seahorse, but they're on par with the local sea-serpents. They are not only capable of speech, but magic as well, and if provoked they will spit fireballs at you until you flee or are vaporized. You can fight them and even defeat them, but it's honestly not worth it — their HP and strength are ridiculously high, their experience and treasure values stink, and they're natural creatures, meaning that killing them reduces your Compassion and Justice scores. You'd make more profit and be at much less risk of humiliating death just by punching a couple of slimes instead. | |

Yu Gi Oh: The Kaiser Seahorse can be used as an easier way to summon a Blue Eyes White Dragon in addition to the name "Kaiba" literally meaning "Seahorse" or by extension "Young Dragon". There is also a card called Thunder Seahorse which is very similar to an older card called Thunder Dragon. Tatsunoko (whose name translates to “Dragon’s Child) is a more straight example than the aforementioned two in that it is a Wyrm-type (Genryū or Phantom Dragon in the OCG), bears a strong resemblance to a seahorse, and becomes an actual Dragon-type called Coral Dragon. |
