Ichthyocentaurs
Their powerful human torsos transitioned abruptly into the strong forelegs of a horse, hooves pounding a rhythm against the seabed floor. But their most striking feature wasn’t their equine prowess – it was their tails. These weren’t mere appendages; they were powerful, serpentine tails that propelled them through the ocean depths with unmatched grace and speed. Crowning their brows, a final touch of the bizarre – a pair of menacing lobster-claw horns, a symbol of their dual dominion over both land and sea. These Ichthyocentaurs, half-man, half-horse, half-fish, were a terrifying and awe-inspiring vision, a testament to the unique creatures that dwelled in the myths of the ancient world.

Even among the extraordinary Ichthyocentaurs, Bythus and Aphrus stood out. Named for the “Sea-Depths” and “Sea-Foam” respectively, these brothers were said to possess a wisdom that rivaled even the famed centaur Chiron.
