==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
'''Quayhorses''' are big sinister [[Aquatic family|seahorse]]-like monsters with orange scaly skin and a pair of gloved arms that allow them to hold pokey tridents. These {{MFamilies}}s are seen wearing stylish armour reminiscent of the kind worn in Roman times, with the top part a bronze cuirass with gleaming golden details, and the bottom part is a white skirt that flows in the sea tides, held to the '''Quayhorse's''' body by a a sleek black belt made of a particularly tough sea weed. These strange ocean defenders wield a solid [[bronze shield]] and a glorious golden ended trident, which they use to torment ocean invaders, along with being able to spew '''[[Sweet Breath]]''' as a way of subduing adventurers, leaving them open to more attacks. They're even able to exude an icy '''[[Cool Breath]]''' across a wide area, crushing enemies with cold hard damage.

Quayhorse's Japanese name, Tatsunoko knight (たつのこナイト), is a reference to the term "tatsu-no-otoshigo" (竜の落とし子, lit. dragon's illegitimate child), often shortened to "tatsu no ko", which simply means "dragon's child" and is another term for a seahorse. Seahorses were believed to be related to dragons.
