Slow but Silent
Seahorses are experts at staying undetected. They employ a combination of camouflage and silent movement to ambush their prey. Seahorses have a 3-in-6 chance of staying undetected when approaching creatures. While they are resting they are nearly impossible to be spotted.
At level 5 they gain the ability to feign death by lowering their body temperature and stopping their heart for a number of turns equal to 1d6 times level.
Seahorse Suck
The snout of the sea horse is its main weapon (see class table). Whenever a Seahorse strikes an opponent with a result of 25% more than is required (a result of 25 when using Target20) there is a 1-in-6 chance the target dies instantly. Otherwise it is stunned for 1d6 turns.
When a Seahorse reaches 12th level it masters the "Quivering Snout". This technique allows it to instantly suck to death any creature with lower HD. After using this technique a Seahorse must rest for a month.
Bony Plates
Seahorse bodies are structured by segmented bony plates. As they grow older they harden (see class table).
Secrets of the Sea Horse
Seahorses are among the only creatures that remember because their blood contains traces of nanites. They have a 1-in-6 chance of understanding something about remnant artifacts they encounter.
