On MLP:FiM Issue 13, there are 2 different Cover Bs, the used one features Mermares, while the unused one features Hippocamps/Hippocampi, most likely a prototype idea for the Mermares, and in the end they decided to make them more Seahorse-like, hopefully they might(maybe, though not most likely) bring the Hippocamps into the franchise later & call them the revamped versions of the 1980's Sea-ponies, obviously Hasbro was completely unaware of the Hippocampus back in the 80's, so as a play on words they made Seahorses with Pony Heads & just called them the Sea-Ponies, but in retrospect it probably would have made more sense if they used Hippocamps, which were basically the mermaid equivalent of horses, but hey they didn't have the interent back then & I'm guessing a Bestiary was harder to find back then.
