Description Horsea live in relatively shallow waters where it becomes warmer.
They cling onto reeds and coral with their swirled tails.

Despite their size they can pressurize a large amount of water that can fire up too ten metres out of the water. Underwater they use it to escape danger quickly by propelling themselves away at great speeds.

Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales, but rather a thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates arranged in rings throughout their body.
They swim very poorly by using a dorsal fin, which they rapidly flutter and pectoral pronds, located behind their eyes, which they use to steer. Horsea's have no caudal fin. Since they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting, with their prehensile tails wound around a stationary object. They have long snouts, which they use to suck up food, and eyes that can move independently of each other, much like a chameleon. Horsea's eat small shrimp, tiny fish and plankton.

Cool design, reminds me of my Kindra Umi when I first got her. By the way, how would a Pokemon like that battle on land? Always confused me.

JoshuaDunlop In reply to Ultimate-Tiga [2010-08-31 09:27:48 +0000 UTC]

many dont, you have to battle them in water, it would be cruel to battle them on land

Ultimate-Tiga In reply to JoshuaDunlop [2010-09-01 00:44:30 +0000 UTC]

Man I feel bad, well at least she didn't stay as a Horsea for long, she evolved all the way into Kingdra in a couple of days and could probably take fighting on land better. Hey maybe they can float like in the 3d games, that could explain it.

Ah... Yet another very well done and believable Pokemon in your style. I've always thought they might be like squid in that respect, squirting away...

Wow I love the little facts that you added in there, such as their tales wrapping around a stationary object and also the eye thing. It really makes him seem like a real creature. It just amazes me all the time when you do your pokemon art.
