And here we have the catch.

I *abhor* Spike. It screams to me of the "pseudo medieval" 
part of the SCA I desperately try to avoid.

A period sea-horse is a horse with fins and a fish tail.

Only a fantasy artist (or an SCA herald a few decades ago) 
would come up with a *natural* seahorse with a unicorn's 
horn. Ick.

I say again, ICK.
