## Appearance

### Sea-horse

The Sea-horse is small, with a yellow-green body. It has spines running down its back and darker lines at the edges of its body. Its head has a long snout with two nostrils at the end and large eyes. Its tail is moderately long and bent backwards under its body. A small darker fin can be seen peeking out from next to the tail.

The Sea-horse grows drastically in size as it gains XP.

### Gold Trim

The Gold Trim Sea-horse is based on the upcoming Sea-horse, and is more yellow (but still notably green). The sides of its body are darker, and a broad gold pattern runs down from the head to the tail. Small branches and a fin can be seen protruding outwards from the gold. Several green bumps run down the back. Its head is much larger with folds at the back and a shorter proboscis with light yellow. Its tail is very long and curls to the right.

### Tully Monster

The Tully Monster is olive green with brown markings on its back. Its eyes are on eyestalks to the sides of its body and are tiny in comparison to the Animal. Its snout is long with small teeth at the rim. Its long tail curls to the right and has two dull yellow fins. It appears to be based off a Tullimonstrum.

### Water Gun Horse

The Water Gun Horse is emerald green with a teal head. Its nozzle is a yellow pipe with a red tip. It has a large pink pill-shaped tank in the middle of its body. A yellow globe with a green base is connected to it. The Water Gun Horse has blue regions at its sides, and its curled tail has a red trigger.

### Old/Legacy

The Old version of the Sea-horse has a vivid yellow-green body, similar to the colors of The Kraken, and it has a row of four spines that come in a darker shade of green. Unlike many animals, the Sea-horse has a curled tail, and a small fin on one of the sides. Because of its long proboscis, the Seahorse is adept at biting tails and is a formidable animal - to prey and predator alike.

## Strategy

* As a Sea-horse, the player's best source of XP to level up is to find a player that is a Shark and consume the meat that appears from their Jaw Bite ability.
	+ On highly-populated servers, the player should be able to easily find a Shark. Once a Shark is found, discretely follow it until it bites prey with its ability (it will shake the prey to produce meat).
	+ This strategy can also be used if the player levels up to a Squid or Flamingo in the Ocean.
* Alternatively, a Healing Stone can be used. Healing Stones can be found across the Ocean, but are uncommon and might take a few minutes to locate.
* Ocean food sources such as plankton are also helpful, but have little XP compared to small meat. Going to Plankton Bushes will likely guarantee a bulk amount of plankton to eat.
* If the player sights prey, go towards it. Land-dwelling prey in water such as Mice or Rabbits are easy targets, but will rarely be sighted in the Ocean biome.
	+ The Shrimp, Trout and Crab all have Passive/Special Abilities that grant them high chances of escaping the player in the event of being chased. Unless prey players that are seen are not very skilled or are on a Beach, investing time into the possibility of consuming prey will be fruitless.
* If the player can see a predator, run away as fast as possible. The Extra Boost ability can be activated by pressing `W`, and should be used to gain distance from a predator when it gets too close.
	+ Certain Ocean predators such as the Squid, Pufferfish, Swordfish and Octopus are the biggest threats due to their Special Abilities. All aforementioned animals have abilities that can inflict stunning to the player, causing the predator to be able to greatly damage the player. As such, these animals should particularly be evaded.
* Despite the risks, another way of gaining XP is to use the Extra Boost ability to boost into unsuspecting predators and bite their tails.
	+ The player should aim to stay a short distance away from the targeted predators, to avoid looking suspicious. Then, when the timing is right, quickly speed up to their tail and bite it. The method has a fairly reliable success rate, but if the player fails, they must evade the predator before they get any potentially-fatal Abilities used on them.
	+ If the player fails to bite a predator once, move on to a new target. This is due to the predator probably becoming more alert and cautious, making them not as easy to attempt this on.
