Story
Hippos (horse) + kampos (sea monster).  Poseidon often drives a chariot drawn by hippocampi. The hippocampus is viewed as a benevolent and spiritual creature that helped people. As a mythical creature, it's strongly associated with creativity and imagination. Sailors regarded the hippocampus as a good omen in that it could control the waves and the weather.  It was also a symbol of agility and strength.
