It was an ordinary day under the great Equestrian Ocean. Many kinds of swimming Organisms were living their everyday natural lives.

In the underwater city of Marinopolis, the local Hippocamps* were doing their everyday things. Little did any of them realize, that trouble was about to happen for all of them.

One male Hippocamp, named Dalgor, was swimming outside of the city, searching for his secret garden of fresh Kelp he had hidden from the other Hippocamps. This "secret garden" was hidden behind a few large sea mounds (underwater hills). The only other beings who new his secret were his two pet Lizard Lobsters (6 foot long, blue and red-colored Lobsters with almost Lizard-like faces and no Lobster pincers), Tooji & Mofo. He would often take his two pets to his secret garden for help with harvesting the Kelp, for Lizard Lobsters are excellent workers at digging up Kelp roots.

Dalgor made his "Come here guys" whistle to call over Tooji and Mofo. Once the two Lizard Lobsters heard their master's whistle, they new it was time to harvest and eat some more delicious Kelp.

"Okay guys", said Dalgor as soon as Tooji and Mofo hurried over to him, "Time for some more harvesting"

As Dalgor, Tooji and Mofo were harvesting the Kelp, none of them even checked to realize that they were being watched. From within the shadows of a cave watched a completely bizarre-looking Creature. It looked like a pale blue Horse with small Unicorn horn on its forehead, except that it had Crustaceon-like mandibles, a long and bony Shark-like tail, two hoof-like toes on each of its four webbed feet, Great White Shark-like eyes, bony spines going down its vertebrae.

It zoomed right out of the caves shadows, startling the Lizard Lobsters and Dalgor.

"Surrender the garden now Hippocamp", hissed the Creature in a somewhat nasally voice.

"Well guys", said Dalgor to his pets, "Looks like we should really evactuate this area for while and start a new secret garden"

As soon as the Hippocamp and the Lobsters had retreated, the creepy-looking Beast swam up to the garden and started to devour that Kelp voraciously.

Meanwhile with Dalgor, he was really annoyed that that thing stole his secret spot.

"When will these tortures from that Creature and his friends end?", he moaned outloud

* Hippocamps are legendary "Fish-Horses" from Greek Mythology. They look like blue Horses with no back legs but a Merfolk tail and a mane that looks a lot like a Fish dorsal fin.
