They were depicted as composite creatures with the head and fore-parts of a horse and the serpentine-tail of a fish, in mosaic art often depicted with green scales and fish-fin manes and appendages. They were believed to be the adult-form of the "sea-horse". Hippokampoi were the mounts of Nereid nymphs and sea-gods, and Poseidon drove a chariot drawn by two or four of the creatures.
